    Your pictured AAA Energizer Ultimate Lithium claims a shelf life up to 20 years, which works out to a self discharge rate of under 0.4%/month.

    Mine didn't last 20 years
    It didn't last 20 MONTHS - but it wasn't in storage.

    The Romeo 7 doesn't have shake-awake but at my settings the AAA has a 50k hour energy budget (5.7 years.)
    FORTUNATELY I have a calendar reminder to replace the cell at 36 months and I had the "installed" date on the sight.
    I also have the ability to swap put the battery twice (depending on ROI for a lithium replacement versus an alkaline) without re-zeroing the optic.

    Again.
