While not explicitly stated in the provided information, standard high-quality alkaline batteries typically have a shelf life of up to 7 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place.

What does 'leak-proof technology' mean?

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity (+/-). Check if the device requires a higher capacity battery or if the inserted batteries are depleted. Clean the battery contacts on both the battery and the device with a dry cloth.

Intermittent performance or low power

Replace all batteries with a fresh pack. High-drain devices may deplete batteries faster. Ensure batteries are not mixed with older or different types of batteries.

Battery leakage detected

Immediately remove leaking batteries from the device. Clean any residue from the battery compartment with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution (like baking soda and water). Ensure the device is dry before inserting new batteries. Avoid using leaking batteries.

Device only works when plugged in (if applicable)

This indicates a power issue. Ensure the batteries are correctly installed and fully charged if they are rechargeable. For these alkaline batteries, ensure they are fresh and properly seated.
