This contradicts the advise from Martin Parker at APD, take a look at his training video. Cells are one item on a Rebreather that I'd rather not push... guess we'd better ask Alex for his expert advise
There is a difference between used and unused cells especially when stored correctly.. Teledyne who manufacturer's the cells specifies it as a 24 month shelf life..
The cells should be regularly tested for response, linearity and output limiting... If you can't or don't know how to evaulate the cells then you shouldn't use them.. I might agree with APs video using BUD cells since they open the cells and I'm not sure if they take the same packaging precautions as Teledyne takes when originally shipping a product.. I don't use AP branded cells for this reason.
Teledyne branded cells have a 24 month warranty..
