I bought package of 4 AA Energizer Lithium Ultimate batteries

Ultimate model. I always used Lithium batteries in my weather
station outdoor. Usually lasts way more than a year but this ones
failed in two weeks. I could hardly measured voltages when I took
them out. First thought was they must be fake ones (maybe from
China). Back with advanced model. Interesting to note from CR, they
rated advanced ones ahead of ultimate ones which costs few bucks
more per package.


What do the Energizer and ebay people have to say about this?


I did not bother. Package looks very authentic. Came from seller in
U.S.


Energizer wouldn't care if someone was faking theiir batteries? Or that their
batteries were arriving dead? Somehow I doubt it. They'd probably want the
batteries for inspection and evaluation, and would probably at least replace
them for you.
