It revived the remote control of a car Media Player, which, no matter which one I brought from abroad, would give up the ghost early. Let's hope this branded one lasts...

The batteries were dead when I put them in, even though the packaging said they expire in 2030. When measured with a multimeter, they had 0.3 volts

Lithium, expiration date 7 years later and made in Japan!! The last one says it all, especially when it comes to use in critical devices like a remote keypad alarm...
