Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Lithium 3V Batteries Size CR2016 (Pack of 5)
Customer Review: sony problems
Summary: 2 Stars
1) Sony does not put an expiration date, nor a made on date on these batteries! How do you know if they were made 5 years ago and about to expire? You don't. In fact, they could be expired (and worthless) right now.
2) Sony customer service is useful if you just want aggravation or entertainment. Response to emails to customer service took 3 weeks and given the language difficulties in the response are hard to trust. The response at one customer service phone number is someone who knows nothing about Sony products. No one at Sony knows what the 85 that is stamped on each battery means, whether it means made 5/2008 or if it means 85 mAh of power. Finally, the entertaining part is that one of the customer service numbers gets you to a female voice that asks for your credit card number so that you can talk to a naked woman (oh boy). When I told the person at the first Sony customer service phone number about this, she said they have known about it, other customers have mentioned it -- in other words,they're just too lazy to fix it.
I'd also recommend staying away from Panasonic lithium coin batteries as they have had a counterfeit problem in the past per internet search. So, although I would not buy overpriced batteries at a local store, I would advise staying away from these 2 manufacturers, and consider the effort needed to change a watch battery in a final choice about buying batteries with no known expiration date.
