Good chance it's done. Unused batteries boil over and corrode. I'd toss it away and get a new one, is t worth a fire.

Duracell d4 alkaline life expectancy

According to Duracell the shelf life of MN batteries is very good... It is dependent on temperature.... At say 20 deg Celcius LESS than 4% per year and at human body temperature (38 degrees) is still LESS than 10% ... But actual life may depend on the physical corrosion of the casing and be dependend on storage....

Extend the life of your phone - Motorola 5.8Ghz - MD700 series

** Extend the life of your phone - Motorola 5.8Ghz - MD700 series **
PROBLEM:
We got tired of buying so many of the replacement/rechargable batteries for our Motorola 5.8Ghz phone. So I started labeling the replacement batteries by taking a permanent ink pen (aka. 'sharpie pen') and writing the date of install directly onto the battery. I noticed that I was buying replacement batteries after just a few months.

SOLUTION & EXPECTED OUTCOME:
After some searching online, I discovered that you can purchase stronger batteries. We did this and have extended the from months to years. Currently we're still running on batteries that were installed in January, 2008. That's almost two years on the same battery.

We purchased our replacement 3.6V2000mAh batteries from "SmartBatts" - if you need more info, or encounter any difficulty locating the replacement batteries, then reply back to this post and I'll help!

thanks,
Chris I.

Idle Problems

IAC Idle Air Control --solenoid valve near the
throttle body

He can remove it & try cleaning it or replace it,IF it is just
an idle control issue

You can not have spark plugs in the motor for years

They should be changed every three years & clean any
ignition rotor & cap, if you even have that,may not

If you have never changed the oxygen sensor, that would help
Clean MAF Sensor & replace the air filter

Keep in mind that fuel pumps do fail,so don't run it out of fuel
& expect that some day if you have starting issues, to check for
a good battery & then fuel pressure at the motor

Finding a new replacement battery for my laptop

The quality of the battery determines the life of the battery.
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

5 year old sedona has low mileage completely dead. What is expected life of battery?

There is no set life expectancy

My wifes lincoln dies at 4 years every time

She had a new cadillac that never made 1 year

I never get less than 8 or 9 years out of a battery
35 years running

If you do not buy the most expensive battery,the one with
the most cca rating,& it has to be completely sealed on top,
not look sealed & have caps that don't come off,then 4 to
5 years is about it

I had the car in storage for 35 days. Upon startup, battery was dead. I took the dead battery out(only 1 year old) and put in a good battery which started the car, while the car was running good I took out...

You recycle the old dead battery

Have no idea why you even put that back in

Common sense & your friend is correct

You don't disconnect anything on today's
vehicles, even with the key on

Put in a new battery,start the car, warm it up
& drive it for awhile & maybe you will get lucky
& it will complete some of the drive cycles & run some
monitors ,you know nothing about & it will be fine

If not, your mechanic friend should be about to stop
by with the bosses scan tool & help you out

Not really, the older NiCad batteries get a memory effect if you keep charging from a half charged state, but modern Lithium batteries do not suffer from this problem.

I keep on receiving error message in my laptop saying my norton 360 has full storage. what should i do?thanks.

Click on My Computer> Right click C: drive (if this is OS drive)
Click "properties" and write down how many megs/gigs are shown as free & available. If your HD was REALLY that full I would expect you'd have considerable difficulties functioning & likely be UNABLE to even do a defrag.

Yes, if you took the deal, you would be paying them yearly, for "extra" storage not on your machine (maybe unavailable should you be unable to access the internet).

You can, for modest money, buy a USB thumb drive of 8 Gigs for about $20 to off load various items (creating more free HD)or do full back up onto a couple of DVDs (assuming you have a DVD burner) or 6+ CDs or to a ext. hard drive used for storage.

Unless there is something new in the program and it will prevent you doing a back up of the machine in normal manor, you don't need to rent space.

Note: I don't use Norton so perhaps I'm missing something

The battery for my Asus Z92KM has become very short lived. If I buy a new battery how long could I expect the computer to run? Could I expect to view a movie of 1 to 2 hours on an airplane?

Hi! Battery life depends on how you use your computer. The normal battery life span is 1 year (more or less, again depending how you use the battery) so if your battery is older than a year you should be expecting to purchase a new battery soon.

Battery life expectancy

The battery life of AA alkaline batteries varies according to the manufacturer and power rating. Alkaline batteries can provide up to 100 shots with typical usage. Olympus NiMH batteries (B-01 4PE) provide approximately 250 shots per charge and can be recharged 300 to 500 times. Olympus recommends the use of CR-3V batteries or NiMH batteries. Olympus sells an NiMH Battery set which includes a charger and set of 4-NiMH batteries. You can purchase this through Olympus dealers or through the Olympus Emporium (www.olympusamerica.com/store).
