I just bought a couple of these for $1.00 each, free shipping:

The price has gone up since then.

The batteries look like the one in the photo. However, this thread (from 2007!) says that the "new" Titanium packaging uses big yellow letters, like this:

So, are these really old batteries, and does that explain why they were $1.00 shipped? Are these the crummy ones that were prone to venting and reading 20% out of the box?

Could it be that the original shipment from CFR Lights caught on fire, and that is why it got lost while in the custody of the USPS? (Dan graciously reshipped after I informed him of the missing package.)

I have a ZTS tester on the way, will give it a shot when it arrives.
 
Confirmed, all cells showed 100% on the ZTS tester. Thanks.

Battery Junction was one of the first places I looked (and in fact I wanted the 3-packs) but $9 shipping killed the deal. For small quantities I couldn't beat $1/ea shipped.
