Bargain of the week, if not the year.

My local Savers (UK) is closing down today, and having a 90% off everything sale.

I was too late for other batteries, but bought 10 Kodak CR123's (no-one else knows what to use them in) for £2, rather than £20.

Dated Expiry 2015.

As a known brand, I presume that they are OK.

Anyone have problems with Kodak CR123's ?

I am going to put them away for a while, is fridge best ?

(They have obviously been at room temp in shop for a year or so.)

I normally use RCR123's, but these CR123's will be ideal for taking on holiday, without trouble of charger.
 
UPDATE:

Kodak website states:

Recommended Storage
Store batteries in a cool, dry location out of the reach of children. Avoid high-temperature storage. Cells should be stored away from direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources. If the device containing the batteries will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries.

Low-Temperature Storage
Batteries may be stored at reduced temperatures to slow the self-discharge rate, but be sure to avoid water condensation on the battery prior to usage. Refrigeration is not necessary nor recommended. If you do store batteries in the refrigerator, let them warm up to room temperature slowly and wipe off all condensation during warm up period and before use. Freezing is not recommended.

So it looks like in a drawer, away from sunlight is fine.
