Planning on using them in a DSLR camera bag, how often do they need to be replaced. Living in moderate-high humid climate?

I'm sorry...I cannot answer but I'd like to find out too! I bought these (and bought some more) because they sounded like a good, logical idea but I have no earthly idea how to know when they need replacement (or if they even work, for that matter)

I am sorry to say that I do not know the answer. If the camera is in a zip-lock bag with the desiccant, you would change it every time the bag is opened. Best wishes.Andy

would depend on how tight your camara bag is I have a 18x18x24 inch telescope bag I use 8 small bags in there I change them every 3 mo just to be sure.

I just returned to the U.S. from 3 weeks in the tropics and the ambient temperature was never an issue. Also, when my camera was about a month old, I dropped it from chest level to hard concrete and you could barely see the nicks/damage in the side of the camera. I wouldn't leave it in the sun all day, though. I also feel lucky the camera landed on its side when I dropped it. Everything still works fine.

They're very decent for the price. I would say that when fully charged, they seem to last about as long as Canon brand batteries. The only issue is that after a few days of sitting around, the charge seems to go away. So just make sure you keep them charged up. (I'd say try to charge them the day you need them, and they should work well for you.)

You'd have to use a lot of them, preferably in a 'container' that could be sealed. Otherwise there would be no point. These are primarily meant for cameras and other sensitive equipment. I use them for small tools (in containers) that could rust.

I can't answer that directly as it depends on use, I expect. I don't think I've replaced one in over 5 years, but I always keep an extra on hand. I did buy one that was a dud, but think it wasn't a Canon one. Would never again try to get a cheaper one. Not worth the savings. I would recommend getting an extra new one to keep on hand if you're traveling, but sounds like yours are still going strong at this point.

I just put them in a plastic bin of old family photographs decades old and expect them to work fine. I also put one in my silver chest. I'm not sure how long they typically last, but I had planned to replace them once a year. Hope this was helpful. I guess we could ask the seller how long they are supposed to last.

I am not sure how long in terms of days but for me at least they last a long time. I am very happy with how long they last, I take a lot of photos, as much as 20,000 a year.

I used mine up to a year after I bought them. The seller would have to tell you the expiration date. I do live Ina dry climate, but I would say as long as you properly stored them in a cool environment, 75 degrees Fahrenheit or less they should be just fine. Hope this helps.

It depends on the usage. I use my when I travel, which is about a dozen times a year for about a week each time and they have lasted for years.

When I opened my bag I immediately transferred them to a ziplock baggy. I don't think opening the bag to get one out will ruin them, but I wouldn't leave them out for long periods of time. Not the same as a oxygen absorber, these absorb moisture. I use them in my underwater housing for my camera for extra protection.

You would need to ask the seller this question. I have put these in my SLR camera's and they are still going strong. That is all I can tell you. Have a good day.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

They do drain a little. I just checked a battery (loose) that was fully charged a week ago, and it's down to 86%. Not terrible. The battery in my camera, which I filmed with on and off for 90min in short bursts, is down to 88%, ironically. If you're traveling for a day or 2 in transit, I'm pretty sure they'll be close to full. And in my experience, they do last well on the job.

My opinion....since they are laser cartridges and use a powder, not liquid ink.....as long as they stay dry, low humidity....they should have very long shelf life.....6-8 years.

I think life span depends on location. My indoor cameras are holding up well. Some are over five years old. The newer cameras that are outdoors have developed surface rust in a short period of time.These are under roof overhangs but still get wet from dew. When my outdoor cameras give up the ghost I will replace with incased cameras. I don't see why this system would not last 10 years as long as they are installed indoors.

If you live in a perfect climate, maybe, but not much outdoors in the real world. These cameras are made for indoors; In Arizona, I might use it outdoors in winter, but summer would cook it, and dust storms would jam it. In areas with high humidity or frequent rain, they would likely die fast. A clear plastic dome (left over pretzel container from Sam's Club or Costco) might protect, but would reflect the IR light right back to the lens at night (killing the view). If you want a dependable outdoor camera, spend the extra and get a dependable outdoor camera... These may work outdoors for a limited use, but aren't made for it IMHO.

So far they have held up very nicely - longest that I have seen is about 3.5 hrs non-stop. But it depends on what all you have connected to the camera and if you are using the flip out screen or the EVF. ALso, various settings in the camera will have an impact. (i.e. wi-fi on of off, digital zoom etc..)
