Default Great deal for your C6 FOB...

I just received these CR2032 batteries.

I was skeptical because of the ridiculously low price of 51 cents each.
However, I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived.

As you can see in the photo I took of the back of the blister pack, they are very fresh batteries with an expiration date of 2024.

I've already used one in my wife's Nissan fob, and one in a computer fan controller, and they work perfectly.

The last time I purchased CR2032 batteries was at a local store, and paid about $3.99 for a pack of just 2 batteries.

I thought I'd pass along this great deal.

I think the two I got a couple years ago were even more, each. That's a good deal---thanks!

Thanks

Looks like a great deal if you need that many. My problem is that I would probably only use 2 at most before 2024. I bought 2 in 2008 at Wal-Mart for, as I recall, about $3 and I still have one left.

They look identical to what I purchased off ebay a few years back. They work well.

I agree, we have 2 cars, 4 fobs, 2 computer motherboards, a computer fan controller, that uses one every 4 months, and digital clock, and a small key chain remote for the home security system.
I use about 4 or 5 a year, and they have a very long shelf life, so it was a good deal.

Thanks for the heads-up on batteries. I picked some up too. For those that need them, Costco seems to have the best buy on hearing aid batteries #312.

Sony are high quality batteries too! I have always bought coin cells in bulk like this as they have at least a ten year shelf life. This is extra good since they are Sony.
