These batteries say latest version, only the latest versions are blue ? So is this the wrong picture or are they not really the newest version?

What I received was manufactured in April of 2013 (2013 04). The cells are HR-3UTGB, which is 3rd generation, according to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eneloop ). They are white with a grey cap around the + terminal, and the name in blue text...the same colors as the 2nd generation cells (HR-3UTGA) that I am replacing. The package states min. 1900 mAh, and an expected 1800 recharge cycles. So, as advertised, and same color as the picture at the time I ordered.

Sold by "Sharp Gear" are not the latest version. I ordered from them and they sent HR-3UTGA and not HR-3UTGB. I sent them back and I will not do business with Sharp Gear ever again. Very deceptive product description.

These are indeed the latest generation Eneloop available in the US. There is a 4th generation available in the Asian market that is labeled as Panasonic Eneloop, for Panasonic is now the parent company of Sanyo. The 4th generation cell is apparently good for 2000 cycles (recharges), whereas the 3rd generation is rated for 1800 cycles. Eneloop batteries are availble in different colors on a limited basis and I have seen the blue cell that you are referring to. There is also an Eneloop lite version that is blue, but is lower capacity. I have purchased a number of these 3rd generation cells from MYBATTERYSUPPLIER through Amazon and have had great results in high performance LED flashlights. I highly recommend them.

Sorry, but I really have no idea what the 'latest version' look like. I bought these batteries early in 2013, and they look like this picture. They work wonderfully well, too. Sorry I could not be of more help.

these 2450mah batteries are not as they claim to be, I buy them and last the same time as the 1230mah

I think they are the same--just different packaging. I think the blue is the latest, since only the ones I order last year were green--all the rest have been blue, no matter the photo used! Blue works the same as far as I can tell.

none of the batteries that i have had the words "best used by date" on their outer or inner packages. my batteries all have the 2018 date on each inner package. i suspect your not getting the right product. send it back.

Probably a representative photo. Just make sure you order the proper Model #. Battery I received was correct.

Yes it is the same, I am guessing it has an older manufactured date, but not sure. Some of the other batteries I have purchased are like that.

You will get version 2, and they are white, not light blue like the picture shows. Don't know if they are compatible or not...

That is the expiration date. These batteries have a 10 year listed shelf life. If you just received some with a June 2012 date, I would recommend returning for a refund. The ones I got expire in 2022.

I do not know the answer to your question, but I will advise you not to buy one of these blue top batteries on line. I did and it was out dated (old) and soon failed.

I don't know the exact answer to your question, but when I purchased these on Amazon in Dec. 2012 (from "Best Deal Supply"), the listing said "use by 2021." However, the batteries that were delivered were all stamped "use by 2022" and appear to be genuine Sony batteries. I will have used them up long before 2021, so I don't know if Sony is being unrealistic in their date.

I believe this is the "new" battery connection. My blue one like this flies and hovers in a very stable manner. I have 4 V911s and the blue is my favorite.

They've changed their product. I just received mine (AUG15) and there is no provision for regular batteries, not even a holder or mention of such in the description here online or in the owner's manual. They do include a second proprietary battery (which looks sort of like a beefy AA).

The batteries I received were dated Mar 2018. Have had no problems with the batteries.

Original blue battery says GP65BP, new one that works just fine says GP65BP-BLK. I believe the numbers that you are referring to appear to be serial numbers. The old battery starts with ACBL******* and the new one is AHBLGD******. Hope that helps
