What is the shelf life of this battery i.e., how long can it be safely stored without degradation before first use?

It would probably stay on the shelf forever, however; drain it to 40% before first use, recharging to 100%, then draining to 20%, etc. When fully charged now I have 6 hours of time, although I haven't tested that to the max......about 4 hours is the most I have used it. I do leave it plugged in when not in use, but plan to use it on a 2-week trip soon, so will find out how it holds up when unplugged.

Not sure what your trying to accomplish. I would assume that as long as it is not charged it last a long time. For more specific information I would contact the manufacturer.

Good question, the response to which says don't buy from this vendor: Their product description talks about a ten-year shelf life, but the batteries are stamped with expiration dates that are years short of that. An Amazon message to the vendor got no response.

Shelf life should be very similar to the Energizer battery of the same type. Their web site states, " Note: Manufacturer does not stamp this battery or packaging with expiration date. We guarantee battery freshness for minimum shelf life shown above." which is 4 years from purchase date. My guess is that 5 yrs is a safe bet in my opinion.

If you mean Shelf life. A Long time at least 5 yrs possibly 10 but in use It all depends on the load of device they are used in Mine was in the remote for our Lexus and it lasted little over 2-1/2 years so if it has been in use in a device you might want to get a spare ! Keep new batteries in refer. Until needed they last longer when kept cold . And the 2011 is the copyright date not the manufacture date you are right no use by date !

I beleive that will depend on the storage conditions. If you store it in a cool dark place then it's shelf life will be longer. I stoare mine in the garage so it gets hot which shortens the shelf life. However, I think even if stored hot it should last at least 2 years.

Not sure. My first battery lasted 6 years, and I was on the second (ordered from Amazon).

That's unknown to me. There is nothing on the battery or package indicating shelf life. I needed one battery and the cost for 5 including shipping was lower than buying 1 name brand battery without shipping.

Don't know the shelf life. You might want to ask the manufacturer. I kept it refrigerated after I opened it.

Honestly, I don't know what the lifespan is of this battery. You may want to contact the manufacturers, apple store, newegg.com or any authorized retailers directly for accurate info. and response because I had to return mine to the advertised seller as soon as it arrived because it didn't meet up with expectation. The above mentioned areas can help satisfy your curiosity.

Normal 6 months to one year, if it is original batteries from box, it may not fresh as we need store it inside warehouse for a while, you may change it soon

I believe it has a shelf life of over one year, maybe more! ...that's my experience, works great each time.. I buy several each yr for my use.

This is my first time ordering a large quantity of batteries (April, 2013) but from reading the other reviews it sounds like a win/win situation, I've even learned about putting them in the refrigerator. I mainly use the rechargeable but the disposablesare convenient for travelling. The exp. date on the batteries is May, 2016.

I bought these for a family camping trip and did not have them very long before they were used. I am not sure what the shelf life would be. They lasted a good 6-8 hours once they were activated.

my pack has an expiration date of March 2021 printed on every battery - should be good to go for longterm storage - around here my kids will use them up long before then lol

The lot that I received had 2021 (8 years) for the shelf life. That is better than many packages that I have seen in some hardware stores! Another similar battery that I ordered had 2023 (10 years) for the shelf life.

The shelf-life of Li-ion battery "should not" affect the storage capacity as long as it's never been used. I said "should not" because I can't guarantee it. However, I bought this battery and the capacity was never as much as it claims, and starts to weaken after only about 6 months of use.

I'm not sure of the life expectancy. I would say a couple of years for sure. I am very pleased with this battery. I had previously had a lithium battery. This one holds the charge longer between uses , charges really fast, and allows me to cover larger area per charge!
