Hello everyone, I bought a phone battery that was advertised as new and original packaging. Since it said NEW, I didn’t take a close look at the two pictures of the battery. On the back of the battery, the production date was visible in small print. The battery was manufactured 11 years ago. There must be guidelines for items whose properties change or are lost through long storage, e.g. batteries, rechargeable batteries, tires, etc. I can’t really find anything on eBay and the AI can’t do anything either. Looking forward to your replies. Thanks in advance, Joachim
