In an emergency situation, the last thing you need to worry about is whether or not your cell phone has enough charge to make a call. The SpareOne Emergency Phone is a mobile phone that operates on a single AA battery, and it can hold its charge for up to 15 years without replacement. The phone has 10 hours of talk time, and it works wherever there is a GSM cell tower. SpareOne can also function in more extreme temperatures than the average smartphone with a range of -22F-140F, and the phone doubles as a flashlight that can shine for 24 hours of continuous light

i guess that would be theorical calculation of consumption/battery capacity because i don't even think a battery would have that long shelf life.
