<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=2>Basically a bad idea. Even so called "dry"
batteries, which are not really dry, will go bad if stored too long. I recall
that the max storage time on them is around 18 months under good
conditions.</FONT></DIV>

Question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Hello All......we have a customer who is interested in storing
some Surrette batteries with no electrolyte as a back up set of
batteries......is there any time period that you would expect these batteries
to remain healthy....do they start losing life after some time? how long
can you store batteries with no electrolyte and still expect them to remain in
good condition when you want to begin using them?<BR>Thanks!!!<BR
