I just received these batteries, they work good, and the shipping was fast, but they are old stock. The date on the back of the package says 2006 so they are 4 year old batteries and the white paper was yellowing so these are not very fresh batteries but so far they are working. Energizer Watch/Electronic Batteries, 3 Volts, 2032, 2 batteries (Lithium Button Cell)
The picture shown on the Amazon site was deceptive! The package came in two little torn out sections from a big (wholesale?) package. The package looks old and it's unknown how long the batteries will last. Even though they are cheap, they may have short lifespan, which actually will cost you more than the fresh batteries sold on the market!
This is a great deal folks, if you happen to be in a store and see these at a lower price that's great, BUT if you drove ANYWHERE to get them you just lost money. These are delivered to your door and if you have Amazon Prime (as I do for years) 2 day shipping is free. You need to think the whole thing through before you give a deal like this 1 star. I love having to go no farther than my front door to get them. Just for the record, nobody is questioning the quality of the product which is 4/5 stars easy. IMPORTANT NOTE: It seems that from time to time Amazon changes the seller for these and not all are on Amazon Prime so look closely if that is important to you. One week it is and the next week it is not. Still a great product.
I purchased these batteries for my Porsche Key Remotes, and both keys failed after 6 months, normally they work for several years. Need to replace again. Turns out, they aren't as cheap as you think, since they have such a short life.
They were shipped fast, arriving three days after I ordered them, in a standard business envelope. However, they're not as pictured - instead of the two-pack pictured, there are two batteries from one of those cellophane sheets of many batteries you'll see advertised elsewhere on Amazon. Who needs the cardboard, right? The drawback is that there's no expiration date on the cellophane, so you don't know what kind of shelf life they'll have. On the up side, these are made in Japan, unlike the Ray-O-Vacs.
Reading the reviews of the others, I was careful to avoid any of the resellers mentioned. I went with National Deals and was annoyed to find out I also received 2006 stock/package batteries. They don't have an expiration date per say, but companies update the copyright year so it's a reasonable assumption.
The blister pack was new and they work, so no complaints. There were no signs of yellowing and they come in an industrial blister pack from Japan. I like the foil packaging better than the US packaging counterparts. That being said, the voltages check out and they should work ok.
Energizer batteries are a good bang for the buck, I have a preference for Duracell since they seem to me to have better reliability and last a bit longer (that's why I docked it a star).
Note: This isn't the place to ding the resellers and or amazon, but they should be more forthright with the stock they're actually selling. - 3v - Battery - Watch Batteries - Button Batteries'
