In a box in all weathers? It was in its original single pack sealed
card which had been kept in the study, and still has at least a year
before its "Best Before" - not "Use by" date.

I'd see if the maker can help they might be interested in the failure,
though I have to say, some batteries do self discharge, and their idea of
five times longer probably refers to the power density when in use, not when
stored in a box possibly in all weathers.

Raided the spares box as I needed a 9v for the kitchen scales.

Pulled out a GP Lithium, Best Before 2021 boasting 5x longer than
alkaline. Scales failed to register. Checked with meter ~ 5v.

Dug a bit deeper and found an Energiser, best before 2014!! 9.2v and
Xmas baking is back on.

Unfortunately I have no recollection of where I bought the GP battery
from, maybe Aldi, Lidl, Wilko. Looks impressive though


Maplin stocked them.
