I thought its cheaper amazon, but found out costco is much cheaper, and newer than this one.

These candles take 2 Double a batteries. I would recommend fresh Duracell batteries. Other candles that take the trip AAA batteries, do not last long at all. With new Duracell batteries I can only guess, but with the candle set on timer going 5 hours per day they last a good couple to three months or so. But that's just my best guess. I am pleased with how long they last after seeing other versions of these candles go through batteries every two weeks or less. Hope this helps.

Yes. I've had Duracell rechargeables for years and never had a defective one.

I don't know. Contacting Duracell's parent company, Procter & Gamble, might be one route, but I wouldn't give much hope for a reply. The flashlight is a loss leader to sell more batteries.

The batteries are NiMh. There is nothing on the package or the website re: use in solar products; however you can contact Duracell directly through their website.

They have a manufacture date of 2012/04 stamped on them and the use before date printed on the battery is Mar 2021. It seems to me they say 10 years but mine aren't allowed to lay on the shelf that long. I like them. I use them. And I reorder them. I prefer the Duracell.

There is no expiration date anywhere that I can see. These batteries I received are fine. After this, I bought another 10-pack of batteries of a different size. They were all dead. Same vendor. I am torn about continuing with him. But my Maxell LR41 batteries were fine. No problems.

They are genuine Duracell Coppertop "alkaline" cells. They are made in China for Duracell. It seems we in the US no can longer make anything. Most everything today comes from China. What a shame.

Hello:These batteries are the "exact" same types as their normal alkaline "c" cells. The difference is only in the name and these are sold commercially to contractors and tradesman.The mAh rating is 7800 mAh. As I have said before, get the Duracell Alkaline and the Duracell Procell spec sheets from Duracell and you will see they have the same specs.

I bought my backup battery on Duracelldirect.com. I have NEVER had a problem with it, nor can I tell any difference from my NIKON battery. It was priced right and it had a warranty. Completely satisfied.

At least a year. I disconnected my power source but failed to pull the battery. Battery was dead after 5 days. Battery may last much longer if no power outages. Freeze alarm will let you know when power is out. Not sure if regular Duracell is any worse, performance wise. I have installed standard Duracell now. We'll see.

mine last for several months, but I only use it about 5-10 hours a week. I've always used Duracell alkalines.

According to RightBattery.com, these are different batteries. That is the conclusion from their performance tests, where the ProCell batteries measurably outperform the CopperTop batteries at all loads (0.1A, 0.2A, 0.3A, and 0.5A). Of course, there's always the possibility that these are technically the same batteries as the CopperTop ones, but that Duracell did "binning" - testing the batteries and branding the best as ProCell (much as chip manufacturers test their chips and brand them at different speeds depending on how well they tested). Bottom line is that these should perform somewhat better than the CopperTop ones, especially at higher loads. http://rightbattery.com/294-1-5v-aaa-duracel-copper-top-vs-duracell-procell-alkaline-batteries/

I have had my batteries for two years now and they still works. When not in use I put them up. I don't believe I saw a date and compared to some other batteries that I buy at other places tell me the expiration date and they don't hold up to that date. These batteries are still working and it doesn't bother me if there were an expiration date or not. All I can say is they are old and still working.
