The other thing about statistics and mtbf is that the figure is not time to next failure.
That is, the mtbf may be calculated as 1 in 10 e6 hours, but that single failure could
happen today, tomorrow, or next week.

As for condensation causing failure, just more red herring bs. Condensation is pretty
much distllled water, which is an insulator. Even with minor impurities, irrelevant
compared to battery charge / discharge currents......
