In any case, I hope you are right as, otherwise, I would assume a lot of annoyed users.
I might notice that we all start to die the moment we are born. The rate of decay is what matters. On other hand, it is a valid comment that it is of generally no use to buy extra batteries thinking on using them some years from now.
