These batteries look genuine, I am satisfied with my achat.J'ai used to buy sony batteries, small packets of 4 at my local supermarket, Monoprix etc and I see absolutely no difference with this one (they seem to last the same time etc) so I am almost sure that they are authentiques.La battery expiry date is in almost 2 years, the appearance of batteries is normal (no runs, peeled labels etc.). It has always need batteries these days, this big package, stored in a drawer of the house reveals so very useful and ultimately 12 are used rather quickly (we do not realize how our various machines / Objects need!). In short, I recommend this purchase represents anyway an appreciable savings compared to the purchase price in the supermarket / local tobacco.
