Per request from the seller I'm leaving additional feedback. For whatever reason, Amazon won't let me edit my original seller feedback. I don't think I should remove it, so this is the best I can do for an addendum:Original feedback was:"Item as described. Generic Chinese brand. Batteries work. Very slow shipping." 3 stars - NeutralNew feedback is:"Item as described. Generic Chinese brand. I received a different generic Chinese brand than the one shown in the picture. Upon very closely reviewing my order, the seller did make a one word notation of the change. I have no complaint with this, one generic is as generic as the rest.The batteries work.The shipping was slow, albeit free. I placed the order on 01-14-13, I received the item on 01-24-13. For what it's worth, the envelope the batteries came in has a printed electronic postage sticker dated 01-16-13. There is no postmark of any kind that I recognize. The item did arrive within the posted shipping time frame, on the last day. I can't say for sure if I think responsibility for the 10 day turnaround should fall on the seller or the USPS. Honestly, I don't care. The fact that it took 10 days to get an item, that cost me less than $5, moved from New York to Texas is not a problem I'm going to get worked up about.As I stated in the original seller review, I'm neutral. When I need a pack of these batteries again, 10 years from now, I'll be happy to purchase them from MYBATTERYSUPPLIER if they happen to be the seller that comes up as the first search result with free shipping. If they're not, that's fine with me too. Frankly, the only reason I'm taking the time to write this review is because the seller has emailed me twice asking me to do so.Hope this helpsOnly needed one for a thermometer battery replacement. However could find in multi-packs. This seems to be holding up just fine. Hoping the other 4 are good when we need them down the road.I got the batteries specifically for the digital thermometer that I use with my children. My kids love the vicks model since it lights up either red, yellow, or green depending on the temperature. They love to make the connection of how "well" or not they are based on the color. That being said when the battery died I frantically searched for a replacement. I had tremendous difficulty finding a replacement battery. Well I finally found them here with this seller only they came allbeit VERY slowly. That is my only complaint. It took nearly two weeks to get from NY to just outside of Boston MA. ( two days after the given shipping window!) So if you are in a hurry for these batteries I reccomend elsewhere. If not then by all means order from them and wait.......but once you receive them you should be happy. I just don't know how long the battery life will be since I just got them, time will tell.....Had to buy a new thermometer (again) because my local stores didn't sell this particular model. Since this is my third thermometer, I decided it was time to replace batteries in the two dead ones. Couldn't beat the price and no shipping! Took two dead batteries out of thermometers, put two new ones in, they work great! Best of all, I now have 3 spares :-). Shipping was fast - got the package within a few days - then again I also just found out the store is actually local :-). I will definitely look for this store and product again next time I'm in need, but hopefully that will be quite awhile.Perfect fit in our thermometer, shipping took a while (not the fault of the seller) because of the virus outbreak but they arrived packed wellTook a little long to arrive.If you try to buy these button cell batteries in a store, they'll cost you $5 a piece. If you're a parent and you have a digital thermometer, you should know the battery life is almost nonexistent on those things. It eats through batteries like crazy! So when my son is running a fever, the last thing I want is to pick up a thermometer and find out the battery is dead at a time when I need it to work most! So I stocked up on these batteries. They were an absolute bargain!So far everything is good, first battery operational. I wasnt able to track it like my other package, but then again I paid shipping for the other item. Bought only five because of the negative reviews, if they do what they're supposed to do, I will be buying the lot of 25 to 50. Hope this review helps.
