These are take-outs from medical equipment, and we’ll send you (50) 2-packs with each order. We’ve spot-checked a bunch of them with a voltmeter (which showed over “3 volts” power), and a battery tester (which put their strength in the green/good range). So, they’re ready to go. Help us keep these 466,000 “quarters” out of a landfill. But don’t try using them for laundry. Pat already did, and it didn’t work out well.
