++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It depends on the make and model. Many are 2 year battery packs. I get different answers from everyone I ask on the alkaline batteries. Some say 1/2 the shelf life marked on the battery, some say the date on the battery, yada, yada, yada. I can't find anything definite in the regs. Maybe someone on the net has the "real answer". If you know the answer, please post. NO GUESSES , PLEASE. As for me, I'm going to change them every year now. Larry Flesner
