Review on Set of 5 396 Watch Batteries by Derek Bryant

Unfortunately, the batteries sent were defective and had to be returned. "Best before" is written on the packaging and mine were sent to me even though they were all mailed DOA and had to be returned. It says "best before" on the box and mine was sent to me even though it was only supposed to expire in a month! So be sure to check this date on the packaging before disassembling your watch or device. I'm sure Renata usually makes a quality battery as my original watch came with it. The seller, a Revain subsidiary, simply didn't show enough responsibility to limit its inventory to just one month. So be sure to check this date on the packaging before disassembling your watch or device. I'm sure Renata usually makes a quality battery as my original watch came with it. The seller, a Revain subsidiary, simply wasn't responsible enough to keep its inventory under control. I have reordered Energizer 396/397 batteries from JustCalculators which arrived today and have turned out to be perfect, just FYI.
