storage life
Keeping time span
Storage life is how long something can be kept before it spoils, degrades, or becomes unusable.
The term applies especially to food, medicine, batteries, and other perishable or time-sensitive items: The storage life of canned goods exceeds that of fresh produce.
Roughly synonymous with shelf life, though storage life may emphasize conditions beyond retail display.
