- Wrist Watch;
- flashlights;
- laser pointers;
- remote controls from the gate, audio systems;
- trinkets car alarms.
They have high stability to self-discharge, so they can be stored without use for 10 years without significant loss of capacity.

Voltage should also be noted. Changes in these parameters may cause the device to malfunction. Capacity does not really matter, but the bigger it is, the better.
Shelf life is in third place. The SR516SW has it for about 10 years, while the level of self-discharge is very small.Therefore, it can lie for a very long time in a warehouse without prejudice to work, but still it is better to choose the one that will be newer.
