  I'm guessing on clearance everywhere because of the new regulations coming into effect soon.

      The Australian Government has introduced four mandatory standards to reduce the risk of death and injury associated with the use of button and coin batteries. The standards apply to both button cell and coin cell batteries, and to the products that include them.
      The new standards were introduced on 21 December 2020. There is an 18-month transition period where you can choose to start using the new standards. They will become mandatory on 22 June 2022.

          @RexHavoc: TL;DR - packaging of button cells AND the devices that use them need to be tested as child-resistant.

          Batteries:
          ƒ Packaging must be child-resistant for button/
          coin batteries of lithium chemistry of all sizes, and
          button/coin batteries of a chemistry other than
          lithium with a diameter of 16 mm or above.
          ƒ Compliance testing must demonstrate childresistant packaging requirements have been met.
          ƒ Where multiple button/coin batteries are
          supplied, blister packaging must be designed to
          release only one battery at a time.
          ƒ Any spare button/coin batteries that are supplied
          with a consumer good, where the battery is not
          pre-installed in a secure battery compartment,
          must be enclosed in child-resistant packaging.

          Products involving the batteries:
          ƒ Consumer goods containing button/coin
          batteries that are intended to be replaced
          by the consumer must have a secure battery
          compartment that is resistant to being opened
          by young children.
          ƒ Consumer goods containing button/coin
          batteries, whether or not the batteries are
          intended to be replaced, must be secure and
          not release the batteries during reasonably
          foreseeable use or misuse conditions.
          ƒ Compliance testing must demonstrate that safety
          requirements have been met.

      You might want to do some Googling on issues associated with children swallowing batteries. You guys get triggered, so easily, that you can’t think straight anymore.

  Button batteries now have stricter standards around how they're packaged. Similarly the devices that use them also have stricter standards that need to be met so that they're safer. To be clear, button batteries aren't being phased out but come 22 June this year, their packaging must meet new standards.

  I saw these in my local WA coles, the expiry date was a month away. I just assumed this was the reason for the sale.

  Wouldn't recommend these even at this price, bought these last month for a glucose monitor, lasted two days before the machine started throwing low battery warnings.

  Nice! Good for my temperature sensors

  furyou on 14/04/2022 - 19:05

  I see that all of these are all dated August 2022. Does that mean the warranty basically is until that time?
  because I am unlikely to start using these Spares by August
