Hey Gary, that's a really good question. So we sell so many of the Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide detectors part # AT36681 that our stock is always really new. We sell about 30 a month (as of April 2024) so we are always getting new ones on our shelves. Also worth mentioning is that the shelf life of the sensor doesn't begin until it's powered on the first time.

Thank you. When does the co2 -propane detector internal clock start running, when the unit is first powered on?

@GaryS Another great question haha! It starts once the detector is turned on the first time as it's the circuits that wear out from use over the years which causes the sensor to dull.
