Will my sust still work?

[Oface2007]

I kept some sust 250 amps in a lock box in an outdoor shed for about 9 months. They are not past the experation date but they went thruogh some major temperature changes (anywhere from 10-85 degrees). I know its best to keep them at room temp but I couldnt keep them in my house at the time. Is it safe to use? Will the sust still work??

Let me offer my services....

I offer a FREE service to all PM members:


terryd's expired gear disposal service. Send all questionable gear to me and I will get rid of it for you free of charge.



Always glad to help fellow members out.


Seriously though, I would be worried about some crashing if it was down to 10 degrees, but that can be fixed by heating it back (if that's the case). The high temp you listed shouldn't be a problem. The most important factor is that you kept it out of direct sunlight.

The only problem I might see with what you described would be crashing and you should be able to look at it and tell if that's happened. It should still be good.


Or you could just take me up on my previous offer.

All the fluxuation in temp could cause it to be less potent IMHO. Still should be safe though. Just try it out and see. I keep my gear in a showbox in my dark closet.

Thanks for the info guys

haha sorry Teddy maybe I'll use your services some other time It would really suck if the gear isnt potent and the cycle goes bad.
