Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased a 50 pack of these from Amazon about 7 months ago. At that time they were sold by "MYBATTERYSUPPLIER" and came in the advertised new hologram package. The quality was adequate, meaning they weren't as long lasting as one usually expects from this type of battery, but I wrote that off as a tradeoff for the cheap price. Hologram packaging was created by manufacturers in an effort to discourage low quality knock-offs sporting brand names. These batteries are pictured and listed here as having the "NEW HOLOGRAM PACKAGE." I've just received another supply of them from Amazon (this time the supplier is listed as PHOTOLAND NY LLC): 10 packs for a total of 100 batteries. But this time none of them were in the advertised hologram packaging. And the standard packs the batteries came in don't even mention where they were made. These are likely knock-offs, and by ignoring the advertised "New Hologram Package" claim the seller apparently doesn't care whether the batteries are the real deal or not. Amazon features a separate section for customer feedback about sellers and I've posted feedback there, but I think this also needs to be mentioned here. Amazon rotates the suppliers of many of their items, but buyer beware: the seller Photoland NY LLC is a bit too comfortable about ignoring advertised claims, so pay attention to who the supplier is when purchasing these. Two stars only because something was received.
