Battery Shelf-life

09/14/2007 7:32 AM

For an ordinary dry cell or battery , how long should it be stored or displayed in store shelves before it can be considered expired or not acceptable for sale? As we know, dry cells are not marked with any manufacturing date nor with expiry dates that can guide an ordinary consumer whether it is old or new. Voltage testing may not indicate if a battery is new or old, but an old battery will have less number of hours in use. Is this correct?

most battery packages i have indicate "Best if used by" dates on them, i have a single packaged 9volt battery in my hand that has printed on it BEST BEFORE 2013.

TO ANSWER THE OTHER QUESTION, AFTER A CERTAIN POINT,THE OLDER A BATTERY IS THE QUICKER IT WILL DEPLETE.
