I purchase mine from ronaldo101 (5000+ sales) 4 batteries for $16.50 shipped , and the date codes were April 2005 and I purchased them august 4th of this year. I think I purchased 4 last year too. All my Macs tend to need new batteries about the time I get them, and all have new batteries in them now with a few spare on the shelf.
