Arnold F. Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have several IDX NP-L7S batteries that are a few years old. What is their life expectancy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhobbit Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Depends. How much you use them. Charge cycles. I have some that I bought in 2007 and I can still get four to five hours of them. I also have 9 volt lithium from 2000, some are still going, some died. I think it's like licking a tootsiepop, the world may never know. Scott...

JonG Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have several NPL7S's, some as old as 2009 I guess, some as new as 2013. All in regular rotation, and I get the same results out of all of them, which is basically that they work as new, no loss of charge. My friend has a couple nicad NPs that he bought new back in 2013 and they are essentially bricks at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 If the batteries are treated well they could last for thousands of charge cycles. There are things that can shorten the life span significantly though, like running the batteries all the way dead and storing them that way.
