First, a note of caution about reviews in general -- caveat emptor. Google it -- it's Latin (kinda) for "It's always a risk ordering on-line." Second, there's a one-star review that has a pic of something that is not this product as pictured. I got the pictured product and there is NO FRENCH on the back nor whatever TIANQI*? on the back. No date, just English words.That being said, I just put 2 batteries in a 20 LED strand and it's burning brighter than the original batteries. YAY! 4-stars because I've only used 2 of 50, and I''ll bump this up to 5* if they improve over the prior set of replacement batteries I bought for 48 fake tea-lights (Ick, taped down in plastic trays -- but still better than original batteries).JamesK144Well like other reviewers the battery strength is not all that great. Mine were not expired or anywhere near it, but they didn't last anywhere near as long as others. BUT there are 50 of them. If it's not a pain to change them it's still a decent buy. Used them in a fit bit. In that device, some have lasted about a month (as I would expect); others have lasted only about 2 weeks; more recently I had one that didn't even last a week. I have also used them in a little LED light with good/reasonable results. Again; there 50 of them & so whether or not it is a good value still depends on how much of a pain it is to change them out. I probably will try another brand next time as a comparison; but may come back to these based on the results...They don’t last. Half the batteries only seem to last a couple days. Using them in Ecobee remote sensors and car remotes....except to transfer your money and to receive a bunch of non-functional thingys.Not one worked. In addition, when compared to Duracell (which I paid more for, but worked) they are thinner. That presents fit problems -- the battery, even if it had power, might have connection issues.Just buy real batteries from a name brand. And all will be well.On the plus side, all of the batteries I have used so far have worked. There are reports about other suppliers sending dead or discharged batteries, so that is definitely not the case here. On the downside, the life of these batteries is not the same as the name brands you might compare them to. I've put them into LED tea lights, and, burning continuously, they have a reasonable life of about two days, before they are too dim to be useful. They are still a good deal, though, they worked out to about 20 cents per batteries, or about 10 cents per day of use, which is cheaper than other longer-lived batteries I have tried. Maybe I'd call it 3 1/2 stars, if I could. May very well order again.This was a good deal regarding price, so I decided to take a chance and purchased them. They arrived much faster than I had expected. They look very good. I purchased these for my tealight candles. There is no expiration date anywhere on the packaging. I have not had the need to use any of them yet, but after I use some, I will come back and update my review.Great value for the money. That said, these are not high quality, and they do not last near as long as others. I tend to forget to shut things off, and wasting a 25cent battery feels a lot better than a $1 battery. They last at least half as long as name brand, so they are still well worth it unless replacing them is a pain.We had mixed results with these batteries. I bought them because they are a great deal financially. Unfortunately, our graphical calculator immediately gave a 'low battery' message, however when I transfered those batteries to our 'key finder' devices they worked fine. I checked their voltage, it was 3.2V, which is consistent with a new battery, so I am not sure what was wrong. Perhaps their design is limiting their available current draw, so that it will work in low current devices but not higher current devices. BTW, I went out and got some new energizer batteries, and the calculator is fine, although those 4 batteries cost more than all 50 of these.as i said in previous e-mail, i only received two card ie 10 batteries. will i be receiving the rest of my batteries?love it5 stars says it allFirst classGreat pack, great value.
