Freshness Date On Batteries
Is there a freshness date on your batteries?
Our standard size batteries have a freshness date on the package stating, "Ideal if installed by....". This is the date by which the battery should be used to obtain peak performance. Beyond this date the battery should still perform adequately; but as time passes, it will become progressively weaker.Typical freshness dates are as follows:
- Alkaline Batteries: 5 years to approximately 85% of capacity
- Lithium Batteries: 10 years to approximately 90% capacity
