They're good for about three years. They only last about a week so that's plenty of time.

From my experience, the life expectancy is about 2 years. The only reason I keep buying these batteries is because I have several pieces of equipment that uses this battery and I don't want to just throw them away. I have about 4 of these batteries and i keep one in the charger most of the time. I have thrown away about 3 of them in the last 5 years. The battery will do well for about a year and then it will lose it's charge sitting on the shelf. I'm guessing these batteries that we are buying are several years old when we receive them. Sorry to tell you this.

I have mine for about a year and it is fine. It should last a long time. A little goes a long way.

I'm not sure entirely, but the computer will complain if they are too old (planned obsolescence). They have lasted for anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 years has been my experience.

I've had mine for about 10 years. I use it for 20-30 minutes almost every morning, six months of the year. I guess I still haven't hit the expiry point!

It depends on how many times you push the buttons to find out the date or time. Otherwise it will last about a yr or two.

Package says the life expectancy (based on 3 hours per day) is 1.83 years. I bought these for my oven and have been very happy with them so far.

I've only been using them since Aug 2014 so I don't know their life span. I just know they are the best product for camping and emergencies.

I think 5-8 years is appropriate. My only complaint is for looking like a large screen from the outside of the computer, there is a smaller screen where the information is shown when you open it. A little disappointing.

I returned mine because it was very old looking. It appeared to have been stored for a long time. I bought it for my 5 year old. I would say 4-10 years.

I have used mine for at least 4 hours. After 6 or 7 years it still lasts over 2 hours.

It has been awhile, but I recall that mine only lasted about 2-3 years. I don't know if that is typical.

Yes. Thats what I wanted to know. I just needed someone to tell me how many years I might expected to be using this thing and you gave me a good estimate. Thanks.

The batteries have a life of 3 to 5 years. This is based on the batteries being kept in a good state of charge as well as being used in a appropriate temperature. The biggest factor that will determine the live of a battery is the temppetature. As the temp. rises the life goes down.

It last a very long time. I'd say years. Even if only a year , the replacement silver is not to expensive. but it should last longer than a year.
