      Assuming the upper end for the calculations,

      About 37,000 hours

      5Ah * 3.7V= 18 Wh

      18 Wh/ .0005 W= 37kh

      Or about 4.22 years

        and it “lasts” over 20 charges (5years per charge) if it lasts 100 years (though it likely doesn’t last 100 years, but has a 100 year half life)
