Can a new battery still be used after being stored for 4 years?
1 Answers
Generally, a new battery cannot be used after being stored for 4 years. Here are the relevant details: 1. The shelf life of a new battery is typically one to two years. If stored for too long, it is prone to leakage and would require repair before use. 2. A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 3. Usually, when people refer to a battery, they mean a lead-acid battery. This is a type of storage battery primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.
