Moose is, as usual, correct whether arising from the mists or from
his chair in Berkeley.
There was question earlier of fridge storage as superior and Dr.
Battery has said "Yes it is. "

Dr. Battery says:
"The shelf life is much worse than Energizer.
Renata loses capacity at about 4~5% pa , versus ~ 1% for the Energizer.
I evaluated the Renatas when I was evaluating the original Energizers,
and they
also have a fairly large increase in impedance after about 2 years of
storage,
although that drops again as time goes on.
So if you do get Renatas, make sure you store then in refrigerator (not
deep
freeze) so they stay more like new when you need them. Stored at <5C of
typical
refrigerator, the shelf life should be comprable to energizer stored
unrefrigerated. Also get them from a supplier with a large turnover,
so they
are sure to be fresh."

Moose arose from the mists to add to "The thread that never died!"
Renatas are OK, but not the best, especially for storage life. Tim made
a few posts on the subject in Oct of last year, including a link to
this. <http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/PDFs/357BatteryData.pdf>
