Back in May of 2019, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Much to my surprise, when I checked the voltage, it still had almost 1.5V. So how’s it doing in 2020?

Still holding a charge nicely, and despite my lack of understanding of physics, as you can see by my transcript :

It looks like this is about what I should expect from my battery, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! :

So it looks like my battery is preforming as expected, be interesting to see how long it keeps on kicking.

You should social media this to Duracell. Way to go there little battery!

Hmm, the only non rechargables I have are in my smoke detectors, and they have a 2028 expiration date. If Duracell has been consistent that would make your battery mid-’90s vintage.

I don’t think they had as long of a shelf life back then; I believe it was under 5 years. Still, even it was a shelf life of 2-5 years that’d be 1999 to 2002.

Not sure how I’d share it with them.

Yeah I mean even thinking about it now sounds a lot of effort.

Paper making? Is this like underwater basket weaving but not underwater and nothing to do with baskets?

It was a ChemE elective, and pretty much. Everyone gets an A or a B, unless you’re me and the one person who got a C.

 I'm sure they have a Twitbook or something.
