RE: [Thinkpad] Shelved Batteries

I recently found a few new in box 600 series batterys, the latest 12p model. $125 plus shipping cost

    Subject: [Thinkpad] Shelved Batteries
    
    I forgot to ask while looking for battery vendors...
    
    IBM discontinued batteries for my 600X about two years ago. Knowing just a
    little about battery chemistry, my opinion is that unused (rechargeable)
    batteries that have been shelved for a small number of years should be
    just as usable as "factory fresh" batteries.
    
    That is, I don't think the chemistry changes much with age when not being
    used... at least for some long time frame. Are there any 10-year-old
    Li-Ion batteries anywhere? I'd be interested to see how they perform.
    
    What's the knowledge of the group (meaning YOU) on this?
    
    Chris
