I would assume they would have several years, all the batteries I've ever bought on Amazon are very new.

I do not know if Amazon sells batteries alone but you can fined them on line. Batteries Have good shelf life so far.

Try eBay or a retail store that sells nothing but batteries. Most stores that specialize in batteries will carry that particular battery. If none are available, try eBay (though you never know what you will get there).

Yes this is for 6 batteries. These batteries came from BULK cases of 1000 cells each. You save A LOT of money since you are not paying for the fancy printed cardboard and plastic of the retail packaging. Just make sure the batteries have the latest MAR 2024 expiration date on them and tested at 3.2V before use.

As long as the battery works, it shouldn't be a problem. Usually expiration dates are just an estimate of when the batteries will be 100% efficient. When you buy a battery the expiration should be a year to 2 years going forward.

my batteries had a " best by" date on the side of each of the batteries. The date was 4+ years from the date of purchase. as I use 10 at a time to replace smoke alarm batteries this was an adequate shelf life for me.

I go thru maybe 2 fresh batterys a year. I say fresh, I suggest always right off the rack. also useage is important but I have been very happy.

I bought some from of these, and other sizes of Duracell, from Amazon, but was not happy with the life of them, they didn't act very fresh. The package should have a date on them from the manufacturer, but you won't know what it is until they arrive at your house. You can put batteries you aren't using in the refridgerator/freezer to extend the life until you need them. I don't buy regular batteries from here anymore.

the warranty on these batteries is less than 6 months. i purchased 40 of them 2 years ago, and 6 went bad after 2 charges. it was more than 6 months after i purchased them, since i only use them in the fall, so the warranty was useless. i had to eat the loss. 6 out of 40 is, to me, not an acceptable loss.

Not sure what the shelf life is. I suppose it is like any lead acid battery and needs topped up periodically every month or so. I use this on a UPS with good results.

Yes, there is a date on the batteries. Sometimes you can find them cheaper than others on a website, and perhaps this is because the expiration date is more limited in time.

The two I received were only four months old, and have stick-on labels. Happily the old batteries of the same brand and size, are still fine, seven years old and saved as back up for home power failure.

You have to ask the seller, or try to buy ONE 6 pack in a pharmacy - but ask them ahead if you get a KEY CHAIN with the purchase. If not, wait for your next order and you will get the extra one you want from the seller. Do not buy your second lot now while you have a stock of the batteries, as they have a shelf life beside the expiry date.

These batteries came in a plastic bag with no expiration date. The bag only said that they are "new." When I consider the fact that one of these batteries costs $6 at stores, I am happy with my purchase.

The shelf life (time it can sit without being charged) is 6 months. If the battery will not be installed in an alarm system or UPS battery back-up (or any other device that trickle charges), then it should be top charged every 6 months to avoid permanent damage to the batteries. If it is installed in a security system or battery backup, these devices automatically keep the battery charged so it does not need to be maintained. The batteries we ship are fresh date codes and fresh from the manufacturer. Best Regards,Battery Supersite
