If he does not I do. I think I remember reading HALT testing to get the years. LG claims 6000 cycles at 10% where they shut down. They wanted me to become a dealer but I would rather buy from AEE or Soligent and let them deal with sales tax and duty. The Blue color was a bit weird and the new model is looks more mainstream/commercial. --Dave
