I have had this for 7 years. It looks OK. How long do they last?

It is good for 10 years as long as it reads fully charged . At the ten year mark it should be inspected and recharged by a professional .
I have one that has a tag on it that says it was made in 1972. The gauge is still in the green but I don't trust it so I have purchased a new one.
Much like the old r12 Freon and similar numbers it was determined that halon depleted the ozone . It’s use has been outlawed for about 15 years . Also it was used in lots of confined spaces , such as boat engine rooms etc . Folks died from oxygen starvation if they re- entered the space too quickly . Not a good thing in the cockpit of a small plane if you pass out !
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Did it happen to be in your glove box at the time?
