E-X mag battery life?

[Sundown]

I am not sure if this is really a tech questions.
But how long does a X-E mag battery last?

Between charges and also lifetime?

Because I start reading people having problems with their batteries.

thanks

Once you start to use NiMh batteries they have a finite lifetime. This is usually around 5 years. So, any stock emag battery that is still in existence is on borrowed time and is most likely operating at reduced capacity.

A new battery pack will hold a charge for quite a while, but being NiMh cells, they are known to have leakage which is why you don't rely on rechargeable NiMh batteries as emergency batteries that you might keep in a kit tucked away for emergency use. That being said, I've had my new one hold a good charge for months. The older they get, the more leakage they seem to get as well.
