Good buy: Varta batteries for 218/219/224 & 230 Accutrons

Battery related question - I recently had someone tell me that Renata batteries were good quality. Can someone confirm or deny that statement? Opinions?

Eric

Thanks for the input everyone.

Update, I just bought a 10 pak. Did the price go down from the original posting? 10 pack is now listed at two dollars and change. I recall it was higher, correct? I did ask the seller if these were fresh batteries and whether they had a date on them. No response as of yet.

Eric

Yes, I thought it was a mistake also; however, the percentage off the previous price section was correct. Then, I thought they may have been trying to get rid of older, dated and expired batteries. At less than three bucks with free shipping, I'll bite :lol:

Eric

Wow, what a SNAFU!

Received mine as well. Nice little 10 pak in box, good date, inexpensive pen with seller's store on it and business card enclosed as well. No message from seller about my question regarding the price change. Good on them for honoring what was obviously a mistake. They've earned me as a future customer. Thumbs up!

RalphDjr, I hit up the same sale again also. My goof to not update this thread as well. Thanks for doing it. I don't know how the seller can do this at that price, but who am I to "look a gift horse in the mouth."

Eric

RalphDjr, the thought of "loss leader" sales crossed my mind also. I love loss leaders, especially when that's ALL I purchase from them. :thumbup1: However, to appreciate their great buys, not to mention their great service (quick processing and shipping), I will try and purchase any other watch batteries from them in the future.

I picked up several boxes at the lower prices when they were available. Those were fabulous deals. Just used one in my first Accutron I ever purchased and it's fine. I'd like to thank (again) the original poster who brought them to our attention.
