If I buy this as a spare what is the shelf life for this product if not connected to the unit?

You can expect about one year depending on enviornment however I would wait till the original goes before buying a new one

I have no idea,that is why Lowes and Home Depot do not stock them on their shelves. You can buy fromChamberlain,and get a fresh battery. It takes less than 5 days to get it sent to your home..

Not a expert but my experience w/ similar type emergency lighting batteries is 2-4 yrs. They actually would last longer if receiving a discharge/charge every 3-6 months. Probably why people report these go bad after 3-4 yrs because they rarely get discharged/charged. If you do buy a spare keep it in a cool place and that will help the shelf life.

If a lead Acid battery is not kept charged, it will fail quickly. My experience is if left uncharged it will fail in a few months. There are low cost float charger meant to keep the battery charged; used for boat and motorcycle batteries in the off season.

I would imagine it would have an indefinite shelf life if not missed with gas, if you have any questions go to PRI-g web site.

Sorry, but I have no real idea that would lead to success. Perhaps the item has just reached it's normal shelf life and it's time to replace. Only thing I can think of would be to check for corrosion at the contact points as it is an outdoor item that would be subject to humidity however, I suspect you have already checked this. If not, it's a possibility. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

Hi Steve, I would suggest asking another buyer, I just bought spares and have not used it yet. I also found them as cheap as $4.00 when I purchase them. Maybe you could email the company. Good luck and I'm sorry I was no help.............;-o now I'm worried.

That is a good question; I've not checked the exact amount of time we've previously had a spare toner cartridge on the shelf, but I'm guessing about ~6 months before installing with no problems I can recall. I think as long as it is stored within the recommended temperature range, and in a dry location, it would be ok?

I believe it has a shelf life of over one year, maybe more! ...that's my experience, works great each time.. I buy several each yr for my use.

I do not know !..The odds are in favor of unit reasonably working a reasonable lifespan...They have replaced'' defective --on receipt ''units ..

You'll find the mnfc. date on the inside of the unit. The unit will be good for five yrs from that date. My last one lived for almost seven yrs. before needing replacement.

That is a complete unit. There is no separate battery. If the unit become faulty, it become junk. Maybe you can get a refund or a new one from Amazon or manufacturer but only within a reasonable period.I had mine for six months now, no problem although the shelf life is bit short (it doesn't hold the charge long).

Jenny, I should also tell you that I purchased this device about 3 months ago and it just died on me. I am purchasing 2 more one to use and the other as a spare as I'm not sure about the life of the device.

I am not sure of the shelf life exactly,but I can tell you that the previous bottle of clonex that I had before ordering this one lasted about 4 yrs. I used the whole bottle so it might be good for longer than 4 yrs. I never noticed any decrease in the performance, as it always produced pretty well. Some hydro suppliers recommend storing it in the refrigerator, but I never have. I don't use any cloning solution anymore. Go to modularhydro.com to find out why. I don't work for them, just trying to help you out. I bought the $38, 8site cloner and had 8 super healthy rooted clones in 9 days. Never seen anything like it. Check it out.

I do not know as have had the unit for only 2-3 months. I am using it a lot with great success, so would also like to know the answer as I would like to keep one in spare.

We use it right away, so we don't know the shelf life. It works, but sometimes needs to be reapplied.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

Really not sure but have had for awhile and still good. Works fine. Maybe you can google shelf life.

4 Years is the shelf life. It is unaffected by opening it and using some. If it takes you 4 years to use this product, you clearly do not go outside enough. Some people use it as a back up and I would suggest using it in that last year and replacing it.

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.
