When buying Duracell batteries ignore the use by date on the front.  On the
back look for a printed series of numbers and letters something like 4a***.
Only the first two have any real meaning  the number is the last number in
the year that the battery was made.  The letter is the month a=January. 
The rest are a factory location code where the battery was made. The date
on the front is more of a marketing scheme  John Gettis
