Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just received the batteries I ordered. I ordered just what the description states, a 12 pack boxed batteries. I did get 12 batteries but they came in a bag. There were three rows of four batteries in a flat plastic package. Each of the three rows had the batteries touching each other, the plus to the minus just like in a flashlight. Batteries should not be stored this way. It can cause the batteries to discharge and with Lithium batteries there could be a remote risk of a fire. Also the expiration date was only 8 years away and Surefire advertises 10 year shelf life. So I lost two years of shelf life before I even got them. The company "planetools" should state the date. I will not do business with that company again. Surefire batteries are good batteries and you can get the batteries that are treated correctly from other companies.
