Hi All,
(Apologies this debate has been had in various formats previously but my question is hopefully slightly different, if not can somene direct me to the correct thread as I really can't find it)
Firstly I'll accept that cells have a shelf life unopened and are then "supposed" to last 12-18months once opened (yeah right!)
But how old (since manufacture) is it acceptable for cells to be when they arrive in the post, sold as "new" from the supplier?
I have just bought 4x R22-2 BUD cells, date coded E7 (May 2007 I believe?)
Its currently April 08 so these cells are a year old.... is that reasonable, usual for "new" cells?
I'm afraid to admit I didn't make not of the age of previous cells
Acceptable or should I ask for "new" cells?
PS- I'm reluctant to open the bags and check output until I clear this up and yes, I did mail the supplier directly...
