Are my batteries genuine Nokia?

I have three Nokia BLB-2 batteries that look like this one on Nokia's
website.

One of mine looks exactly like the one in the picture except for a
different serial number. The other two I just bought are missing the
crossed out trash can, have lighter print, have identical serial
numbers, and did not come in Nokia packaging. Otherwise, they look
the same as the picture of the genuine battery. Do you all think
these are probably genuine Nokia's or probably counterfeit? Are the
18 digit numbers printed on these batteries supposed to be unique
serial numbers or are they a date code or batch number which may
repeat?

More than likely.

This is an ongoing problem as shown by this article from November 2003,

Questions.

Do they work?
Are you satisfied with their performance?
Did you buy cheap or expensive?

If yes, yes and yes(part one) then who gives a damn.

If you're dissatisfied with them then return and get a refund if you can.

Lastly, very cynically, are you about to sell your own batteries and need to
check a few details?
