[QUOTE="MileHighSi, post: 30182, member: 3234"] As I've said earlier it's not so much a cost issue as it is waste and environmental concerns. I live in Malaysia and I have serious doubts as to whether I could get it responsibly recycled. I have already sourced a replacement. The question is whether to keep the suspect one for emergencies. I remember draining both batteries whilst travelling around Japan one day and cursing myself for not saving a little juice. The third battery would have definitely (IMO) been worth getting out at an abandoned temple we stumbled across. The other question which I'm increasingly asking myself is whether or not any salt/water actually got inside unit. In which case it's not a question of [I]when[/I] the battery will fail (as has been suggested near enough universally here) but if - hence my questions around when I would be able to tell.. at the longest; i.e. if corrosion has already started (as is popular opinion) then how slow is the [B]very[/B] slowest it can possibly take to corrode before I actually notice (i.e. if the battery still works after that timeframe I can assume all is okay).
