hello. I'm wondering what the manufacturing date on these batteries are. I understand that this is a 3 year old model of phone type. but I'm looking for a decent battery, not made 3 years ago, as shelf life of Li-ion over this time are poor. any help...

No idea on what the manufacturing date is but I still use my LG g2x daily and this is the only backup battery I have and it works great.

Wow... I have no idea... you're asking what the "shelf life" of the battery is... probably only the manufacturer could answer that...

Sorry, but I really have no idea what the 'latest version' look like. I bought these batteries early in 2013, and they look like this picture. They work wonderfully well, too. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I've used them for a time, worked great but my personal pair stopped holding a charge longer than 5-15. It was super random and I gave them another chance at a wedding last weekend and nope.I might just have a bad pair but its really weird as I've had these batteries just under 2 years where as my OEM battery is nearly perfect. Just letting people know the other side of the story.

I did not. The date on the batteries was: March 2016. Although the seven-year freshness may be important, I will have used these batteries within the first couple of years. The price is good and if the battery lasts, I am satisfied.

I ordered mine... Oh, a while back... maybe 18 months ago. They're still fresh. If you get batteries that are near their expiration dates, I imagine Amazon would let you return them to keep a happy customer.

The batteries I received were manufactured in 2010 and wouldn't hold a charge. I returned them for a refund.

I question that this is an original battery producted by Samsung, even though it looks like it packaging-wise. I purchased it in November and am returning it to Amazon in January. Although the phone works (except I haven't tested the Near Field function - I don't use that feature), it doesn't charge past about 85%, drains quickly (as other reviewers have noticed). Probably the only was to tell for sure if it is a Samsung produced battery would be to send it to them for their opinion. Compared to two other known Samsung batteries (one came with phone, one with their extra charger kit), this battery doesn't perform well, and won't last a day on a charge.

I cannot answer the question about the manufacturing date; however, I am most concerned about the date of use. My batteries are to be used by 2019 - I am certain that by that date I will have ordered several more boxes. This is the second box of 9volts that I have purchased and I have been very satisfied.

I believe these units were first offered about four years ago. The units currently offered could be of recent manufacture, and the batteries might possibly be fresh. My units are about four years old, and all the batteries seem to work just fine. You would want to contact the merchant directly to answer this question, as there is no way for this user to know for sure about how long these units have been awaiting a sale.

The outside box has no date on it. Each individual battery is marked with a "Best Before" date of March 2018. I purchased them January 16 2014, so it is a safe bet that current batteries will have a different date. For what it's worth; These batteries have exceeded my expectations. I have a number of wireless motion sensors that are in relatively high-traffic areas during the day. Previous batteries of another brand, always alkaline, never lasted more than about 5 months in those devices. These batteries, put into use January of 2014, are still going strong as of October 16 2014. The outside box has no date on it.

@Esther L. I do not know the origin of the battery, but i do know that it has operated outside of OEM qualifications, and has really changed my opinion on this product. I am a business man, on the phone most of the day with clients, emails, and charts. I have 2 of these batteries, and they work great! the charger gets them to a full charge really fast too. I would highly Recommend this product! And with a price like that, its un-beatable! -D Hall Investments

That is the expiration date. These batteries have a 10 year listed shelf life. If you just received some with a June 2012 date, I would recommend returning for a refund. The ones I got expire in 2022.

It's actually a question of economics. I bought 24 dated MAR 2021 which leaves only 5 more years of guaranteed life. The box was shelf worn. I was a bit disappointed but I will keep them. They were approximately $2.00 cheaper than other vendors with the same batteries with 7 years of guaranteed life. It's your decision of which to purchase.

I'm not sure if they were dated. I did not notice. I buy them for my radio at work and I've never had a problem with them. Duracell is a very good brand of battery regardless if it had a date or not.

Do you mean 10 years? My Mom had her original for years and I think she somehow wore it down early. But it was still years. This puppy is working great so far. And at this price the battery is essentially free. :-)She was having reception/dropped calls issues. Her house is on a mountain. She said she thinks the connection is getting sketchier because of the battery not holding as much of a charge. I said I don't think so. Well we got this replacement battery and the call reliability seems a lot better. Go figure.

I bought two batteries at about the same time. One has a date of 2007 and the other has 2010. I don't know which seller was which, but both batteries have performed beautifully and were well worth the purchase.
