Battery nonfunctional because obviously too old

The battery was already 21 months old, according imprint. The long-term storage has obviously done him no good. Although I could charge it to 100%, the Defy crashed so on a regular basis. Mostly it is not recognized the battery and then show no more charging status. I should then pay more for the postage of returning what was then but refunded me after confirmation. My tip is to always prompt for the printed production date before buying. Batteries by storing not better as you can see.
