Are you saying you just got one (from amazon or other venders) and what you got is dated as being made in 2007? If so, I'd return it since if it's been on their shelf that long, the battery will likely not accept a charge now. If you're saying you've had it since then and wonder how good it is now, that depends on how it's been treated and used. I have a different brand that I've had for 10 years and took it camping several months ago. I used it to power a raft trolling motor where it supplied ~8 amps for over an hour (it's battery is rated at 18 amp hour). I've kept it charged following the instructions of "Recharge after every use and at least once a month", so that's what can happen.

It is a lead sulfate battery just like regular ones in your car so at 6+ years old, it is approaching the end of its life. It also depends how often you have recharged it. Batteries that discharge excessively, develop sulfation and that shortens their life. Suggest you get a new one if you want to have a reliable back up.

Yes it still works as of today. Just charged it for a bit and everything is still fine.

Mine has been in operation since last July. Still blinking so I guess the battery is OK after 7 months.

It was good when it was working. Mine will no longer hold a charge. I've had it for about seven months.

It depends on when it was manufactured. Buy it new and you'll be fine. Buy it used and you'll have to check. Typically they're good for 3-5 years from purchase.

I replaced the original battery with this unit about a year ago and it has been working fine with no issues.

Yes it is. Mine worked for about a year, then had to buy a new one. Still good for the price.

I'm using it for about 3 years now and have no major problem. Probably the downside only the charging time longer and lifetime shorter than the original, but really worth your money for backup battery.

Yes. I purchased mine in 2008. Not a peep from it until this year, when it started chirping and displaying a low battery signal that would not stop even after batteries were replaced. I figured out it must have reached it's usable lifespan.

I really like mine, seem to last a long time. I have one thats been on a piece of equipment for 10 years, batteries are still good.

We have been using ours since at least June of last year & the battery has not died yet. So they last a long time.

I bought mine in April last year, It has worked great at the moment, you have to had extremely careful with the seals that protect the battery and the connections ports.
