If one was to buy an RTC module with a soldered battery, such as this type; https://thepihut.com/products/mini-rtc- ... spberry-pi
is part of the ~4.5year battery life already used up before you install the device?
If I was to stock up on them, but they sit on a shelf in my facility for up to 1yr, have sat at The Pi Hut for up to 1yr, and maybe sat in China for 6 - 12 months, is that all to be subtracted from the battery lifespan?
Or do they somehow only run the battery when connected to a board?
