• Expiration: Note the expiration date on the packaging. While these batteries have a long shelf life, performance may degrade past this date.

7. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning after battery installation, consider the following:

• Incorrect Polarity: Double-check that the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
• Poor Contact: Ensure the battery is seated firmly in the compartment and that the device's contacts are clean and free of corrosion. Gently clean contacts with a dry cotton swab if necessary.
• Depleted Battery: Although new, a battery might be depleted if stored improperly or past its expiration date. Try a different new battery.
• Device Malfunction: If the battery is correctly installed and new, the issue might be with the device itself. Refer to your device's manual for further troubleshooting.
