after trying so many batteries in my life i’m ready to call this the last one you will ever want to try.
those are really the best and long lasting batteries that Duracell ever made.
the internal tester is also an awesome feature in order to check if you still have some juice inside.

|AWESOME Batteries, Fresh w/ Recent Production Date But BUY FROM AMAZON – Reasons Below,
Amazon.com is the #1 retailer in the world for a reason… Awesome customer satisfaction, excellent business plan, great products, amazing prices, etc… As we all know, Amazon has expanded their business to allow 3rd parties to sell their products on Amazon’s website for some time now. With this expansion, they allow 3rd party businesses to either 1) use Amazon as a storefront but the seller keeps/ships their own stock or 2) they use Amazon as a storefront AND Amazon holds the business’ product in an AMAZON warehouse.
As a consumer, you have to be cautious when businesses that want to sell on Amazon opt to use option #1 simply because of the fact that how they obtain their product can vary. This especially matters when you deal with products that have expiration dates. Ever been to a flea market? For those of you that have, many of you know that various merchants at flea markets can obtain their stock through closeouts, business closings, clearance, etc. And much of that stock, especially when dealing with consumables, have expiration dates that are either upcoming or already expired. In the case of batteries, we all know they have expiration dates and it’s a glaring concern that when you buy things like batteries, you have to be concerned about how fresh they are and if they aren’t, how much longer they will last. There are many reviews on Amazon of people complaining about “bad batteries” but because multiple sellers (including Amazon) can sell the same battery the reviews are all clumped under the same product.
Being an Amazon Prime member, I always try & find a product that is eligible for Prime shipping. Sometimes Prime items don’t always have the best price, but it guarantees you a fast shipping date and a fulfillment by Amazon that we Amazon customers all love. But a smart consumer will also follow the rule that without sufficient evidence, if a price is too good to be true, then it likely is.
In the case of these batteries Duracell Ultra Power AA Batteries, 16 Count, I ended up paying $10.95 vs the other seller’s price of $4.99 (but they also had 4.99 shipping), which made them the same price. Since the price was nearly the same I gained a peace of mind (no flea market stock), excellent returns policy, and the opportunity to take advantage of Prime shipping by buying from Amazon as a seller.
Most Duracell retail battery packaging now states that it’s “Guaranteed Fresh” for 7 years. Some Duracell packaging even has a production stamp of when it was manufactured. If it’s not, a good way to calculate of when the battery was made was take the year date that’s on the battery itself and subtract 7 years. That’s what year your battery was made. Obviously the closer the date is to the year expiration date on the battery, the less “fresh” it is. But in my case, these batteries have a production timestamp of 10/31/2011… which means it was made fairly recently. Testing a couple of these puppies in my battery tester as well as the built in charge tester on the Duracell Ultra Power batteries at home shows that they have a nice full charge!
