It can last for years if store in a dry place and as long as it hasn't been used.

I'm counting on it lasting for a long time....and hoping and praying we don't need it....xI don't think there is an exprslon date on it...

I did not see a "use by" date on any of mine. I can say I'm confident that as long as I store it dry it should be practically indefinite. I have sealed my spares in food saver vacuum sealed bags and will use them with confidence any time in the future when opened. A used filter MUST be completely dry before storage so the two I use I do not expect to last any longer than my other filters (i.e. pump or gravity fed). A food saver vacuum sealer is really a small investment for long term storage requirements.

There is nothing on the packaging to indicate expiration dates of any kind. They provide a website for additional questions but even at Seychelle.com there is nothing about shelf life

These are most certainly *NOT* new. They come pre-formatted with a 150MB(ish) partition, and so far, of the 4 2TB drives I've attempted to use, SMART lists at *LEAST* 500 days of usage -- one has nearly 1200 days and has enough bad sectors to choke a chicken. Checking warranty status on them, 2 are 'return to place of purchase' one is 'Unreturnable' and the other has one year left. Thankfully, that's the *BAD* one.

I've used some that were very old. They always worked fine. Never had a problem. Why is that important? I don't think they do expire.

To be honest I am not sure, I don't see an expiration date on the package. However, I have purchased these twice and not had any performance issues.

Not aware of any expiration dates- I assume most products would be used before such time

Patricia,I'm sorry, but these cameras go to our transporation department for our trucks and I do not know how long they last. We use them pretty quickly so an expiration date has not really been an issue for us.

I purchased these and they worked great. However, I did not look to see what the expiration date was. I installed them about 3 months ago and they are still working great. Hope this helps!

They are designed to last approximately 30-45 days. However, I have seen customers that have gotten much more time out of them. An average usage time would be about 2 months.

I had mine for 7 months and between making pb, snacks and cooking with them I used them and never had issues with then expiring. Though I never saw an expiration date.

Mine were purchased several months ago and show a date of March 2020. Generally, the cells will provide full service quite some time after the date shown on each cell. If you plan to use them up fairly quickly, there should not be a problem. However, If you need a year or so shelf life, I'd send them back for replacement. The should not have sent you 2013 cells in late 2014.

Depends on who you buy from. If you're willing to pay the $40+ you most likely will get the full shelf life. The lower priced items not necessarily. However when I got mine with only three months of life thru replaced it with no questions asked with one that had 2+ years on it. Bottom line is even out of date it will work. It just loses some effectiveness. I wouldn't throw it out, just use it first.

Hello. To be honest, I didn't check the expiration date on mine, but I will tell you that I purchased them about a year ago and they are still working just fine. Hope this helps. :)

I don't know if there is an expiration date. I didn't look for one. They were in HP packaging? I hope this helps you. I would order them again.

The ones I have expire 02/2016, but I don't the no you can depend on that, as each can will have an expiration databases on its manufacture.

I have used this device for over 2 yrs I have noticed no problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

the one I bought has an expiration date on 8/2018, so they should definitely still be good and even used before they expire! :)

Celeste, I currently own 6 of them and they are close to being 6 years old. However, I really don't anticipate they will last forever, I have read several reviews of units lasting as long as 15 years. If mine give out today, it's a cheap investment, and they work...
