skydive4play 0 #1 January 21, 2004 Need to find out where I can find in writing that the batteries start their due date once they are removed from their package. IE. a box of cypres batteries on the shelf for 3 years but haven't been open??Lead Follow Or Get The Hell Out Of The Way!!!... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #2 January 21, 2004 http://www.cypres-usa.com/cyp16.htm Dated 1995. QuoteWhen does the battery need replaced? Airtec requires that the batteries be replaced the first time the low battery error code (8998/8999) is encountered during self-test, or every two years, or every 500 jumps, which ever of these occurs first. Note that the two year period is from the date of last battery change. The date of the last battery change can be found on an orange label on the cable end of the black plastic processing unit box. As this is packed inside the reserve container, it is necessary for riggers to check out the battery date as part of the reserve inspection / repack. ... It is a good idea for all riggers to have some extra CYPRES batteries in stock to avoid extra delays and shipping costs. When stored as instructed the batteries have a long shelf life; the two year period does not start until they are installed. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydive4play 0 #3 January 21, 2004 I was told that if the package ie. plastic has not been taken off the batteries for use, that the date starts that day. I have 3 to 4 boxes of batteries that just over 2 years, is it ok to use these if they test out ok?Lead Follow Or Get The Hell Out Of The Way!!!...
