 they died very soonJun 20, 2010
By Michinio
These batteries are not high quality. They are CHEAP all right but they don't last long. I use them for my electronic dictionary and if energizer batteries bought in Walgreens generally lasted for 2 months these ones died in 3 weeks or so.

Good Batteries - Some Things to Know When Ordering Products w/ Expiration DatesJan 13, 2012
By Hyoun Kim

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 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.
These batteries I purchased are available from numerous sellers (approximately 13 at the time of purchase). They range from 1 cent up to $5. 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.
With that ideology, nearly every single seller for Maxell Lithium 3V Batteries Size CR2025 (Pack of 5) has the same low price. So is a 5-pack of batteries that normally retail for $2 per battery for a price of just $2 too good to be true? More than likely. That's why I went with my instinct and went for the batteries sold by VR Gamez (fulfilled by Amazon).
Although I paid $2.50 more (total of $4.99) for these batteries, I took a gamble for a peace of mind and it looks like that gamble paid off. Despite saying they are for calculators, I use the CR2025 for keyfob car remotes and I needed approximately 4 of them. Since using them, all the keyfobs to my family's cars are now more responsive and the distance that they work are back to where it was when we purchased the car off the dealership lot. I would definitely recommend the battery sold by VR Gamez (fulfilled by Amazon).
As a final note, Amazon allows you to rate a 3rd party seller, which is a good method to help keep us consumers informed, but still it doesn't completely protect you from a specific product, as that seller's rating could come from some widgets that he/she sold in the past.
So if you're looking for consumable items, such as batteries...
#1 - Try & use Amazon or a reputable seller.
#2 - If you have to go 3rd party, try & find something that is fulfilled by Amazon (trust me, it helps you 100% more because you're dealing with Amazon support and not someone from someone's basement... especially for returns).
#3 - Although price may be the #1 factor, don't go so low where you question the quality of the product.
#4 - Write a review of the product and mention where you bought it from so that other Amazon customers know where to go for a better experience.

 unsatisfied customerJan 04, 2012
By Disappointed
I ordered two packages of these batteries and one arrived corroded and the other package of batteries didn't work at all, though they weren't corroded. To the sellers credit though when I contacted them they apologized and asked if I wanted a refund or a reship. I requested a refund and they promptly refunded my money for the full amount. I have to maintain the one star rating since obviously I was still dissatisfied with the actual item, but I was impressed with the customer service regarding it.
