Hello,
We keep a stock of RAID batteries for PE R710. I am suspecting that most of them are quite old. Ones that have manufacturing dates on labels are from 2010-2011. That makes me worry that if we use them for repairs they will fail if not outright then after couple of months.
Things to consider:
- most likely were never deployed,
- Li-Ion cell shelf life limits,
- no special storage procedures, these weren't periodically recharged, might be completely drained,
- we have a sizeable quantity and I was informed that they are quite costly,
I was thinking about testing them and the best idea I've had was to put them into a chassis and run them through a learning cycle. Do you think it's even worth it or we should just replace them?
