ELI5, Battery life

1.13K views

I just went out to buy some 9 Volt batteries because the fire alarm decided to be my alarm clock today and tell me, quite loudly, it was hungry and needed more batteries (/s). I replaced the battery and went to go pick up some more batteries for when the other fire alarms require replacement batteries, and I had thought, if those batteries stay in the package for an extended amount of time, will they still have the same amount of life in them as when i first bought them? Or will they lose power and life, even though they are sitting in a sealed package?

I have lots of rechargeable AA and AAA, very handy for smoke detectors, flashlights, remote controls etc. I never need to run to the store to get a battery. Better for the environment too. I have had a couple wear out but it took years. In the meantime, I would have used dozens and spent a lot of money.
