What buyers say about Duracell - 2016 3V Lithium Coin Battery - With Bitter Coating - 1 Count
I have no doubt that the battery in this 4-pack will last as long as the original, as the best-by date on the back is nine years from now.
The two cases are in a continuous link of plastic, so they are too large to swallow whole. Duracell battery is Duracell battery, I don't have anything to add for the battery itself.
I can be a little hit-and-miss with Duracell, but I think they serve up some of the better quality batteries on the market, and I occasionally get quite the dud.
I can assure you that the remaining 3 batteries in the package won't expire before being used, even though the date of their expiration is nine years from now.
I use Duracell batteries for my camping trips, hunting trips and as a light when working on the car at night, since no name batteries last for more than 2 or 3 hunting trips.
Common Questions
Is this the right battery for a 2012 Toyota?
I have a 2009 LXE and it's the right one for that, and it's listed in the book that came with the car, or you can look it up on the internet.
The title says 1620, but the picture shows 2016. What is worse, part of the description says 1629, and another part says 2016?
It's 2016 so far.
Why would this little battery be delayed because it is being held up at customs?
I thought it might power my space ship.
What is the mah charge on the CR 2016?
I don't know how long the battery will last, but I replaced my car key fob in October of 2020 and it's still running good.
Is it the same thing as cr1616?
CR1616 is slightly larger than CR 2016 and will not fit in the cage, because of the different battery types.
