2/5

posted Feb-17-2010
Ordered 13 HC1221W batteries. Arrived in good condition a week later, which is good. However, looking at the manufacturing date stamped on the bottom of the batteries, 2 of them were from April 2008 and the rest from April 2009. Hardly "fresh" batteries. One of the 2008 batteries was discharged down to about 4 volts (from 12 volts). Customer Service explained that the date stamped in the bottom of the battery container may not be the date when the battery was actually filled. According to the label on the side of the batteries they were all produced (filled) on 30 July 2009 which makes them about 6 months old. Probably OK.
