Wayne,
  I think, on the basis of experience. John's statement is true - just
not quite complete.  Limited life, and in no way predictable.  I have
used some that my grandfather used, and had to discard others that I
bought myself new.  I don't know if it was manufacturing standards or
what.  
  An yes, I love my Trip 35 and will feel a loss if the selenium cell in
it dies.
Rand E.
