[RE-wrenches] battery life

[James Surrette]

Hi Todd, 

Tried to post earlier from my phone but don't think it went. 

Dry charge (not moist but true dry) can be stored for 5+ years easily. 

The lower the humidity the better as the negatives will discharge in the presence of air if they become wet. 

One helpful option is to use cling film / stretch wrap over the vents and then screw in the vent caps tightly. 

10+ years is not impossible but as they dry charge batteries age, the activation time will increase and the charge current will have to be reduced. 

Hope this helps, 

Jamie

I have a survivalist minded system owner who is interested in buying a set of deep cycle batteries dry charged. I have heard even dry batteries have a limited lifespan. Can any one comment on that please?

thanks,

Todd
