B90 shelf life question

[beer2beer]

Hi there,

Does anyone here knows the lifespan of a NEW B90 that was never charged? I mean, the shelf life of it without charging?
Maybe a dumb question, but I'm really curious, because I have a 8NX with two B90.
Regards,

I wouldn't worry about the shelf life of the B90 since it is NiCad. I've kept NiCad batteries uncharged for 15+ years and they work fine after a few charge discharge cycles. NiMh on the other hand need to be cycled a couple of times a year to keep them in good condition.

That's exactly what I would like to know. Thanks a lot for your help, monkeyboy.
