So, If You Buy A Second One And Leave It In The Box...

[zektor]

How long will THAT battery last? I would like to purchase a spare and keep it sealed/new in storage for a rainy day in the future, but not if the nature of the battery is such that without a charge over an extended period of time (maybe a year or more) it will be dead right out of the box upon finally opening it. Anyone have any input on this?

I've wondered about that myself actually....

Caanoo batteries are LiPo yeah? If so, they should have a very good shelf life. Apparently the Pandora batteries that have been sitting idle through all the delays are still in great shape. Some interesting discussion on that here (notwithstanding the thread starter who is having trouble with his battery!):

I would of course remove the battery from the Caanoo for extended storage, maybe put it in a little zip lock bag or something.

People says that if you load the batteries at half they last longer.

Even if it does go dead you can still just charge it back up again
