I still can't believe it, but I have an Eveready Energizer AAA battery that just died 2 days ago that's been powering an LCD clock since NINETEEN EIGHTY-SIX! I can't ever remember changing it. Called Energizer Holdings (current company) to try and determine the age of the battery but not only did they not have any info, the customer service rep didn't even know when ownership passed from Union Carbide to Ralston Purina (1986). I did a little researchon the Web, and found out the dates. Ralston then spun off Energier Holdings as a separate company in 1999. I'm absolutely amazed. That battery should have died from Old Age even if it was NEVER used (Energizer claims about a 7 year shelf life) How the hell did it last so long actually being in USE?!
