Tell me more ×  Lithium Ion batteries being the milk of
batteries that they are; I was wondering if there is any way of
obtaining a guaranteed fresh carton of power with an expiration
date so one can tell if they are being ripped off or not?  I'd
like a new battery for my ASUS626, but I'd like to make sure
that I'm getting what I'm paying for!  share|improve this

nightmare for you (items packed by weight, not volume). Why not
speak to ASUS or the battery manufacturer about it? –  joeqwerty

accepted  Most manufacturers will print the production date onto
their batteries, so just check that.  Of course, an unscrupulous
manufacturer (or seller) could falsify the sticker, so the only
real protection is an honest seller, plus a good warranty (e.g.
"at least x mAh per charge for the first 300 charges"), plus a
seller who actually stands by their warranty :-).  share|improve
