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?

Batteries slowly die even when in their package. I don’t feel qualifies enough to explain why but I think it has sth to do with their internal resistance.
