I was looking at them on Ebay last night and the oldest/, 'farthest in the future' expiry date I saw was 2035. I'll assume that they were at least made in 2016, so that's 19 years. They keep increasing it, like with Eneloops, Mountain House FDF and LifeStraws.
An 8 pack can be had for ~$14 delivered, so I wouldn't put too much worry into the issue. Store them, use them, as it probably doesn't matter much? When the zombies invade and you get 'Abrahammed, or Daled,' it won't matter, since you can't take them with you. Always try and rotate your stocks and stagger your purchases. If you don't need 100 of something today and you know it will still be produced two years down the road, perhaps wait until then?
I've been using a single L91 in my rotary fish feeder for a couple of years. I'll go for one week to three weeks a couple/few times a year and it's still over 1.7v, IIRC.
It's a low drain device, pretty much.
