Fairly useless, when you want to use it the battery will be empty 
empty/corroded or you cannot find the damn thing. Water absorption may 
not be evenly distributed throughout the system.

Another bit of kit to be stored and to get lost. I have shelves full of 
such "useful" items but rarely use them.

Just change the brake fluid every two years and you are OK. Brake fluid 
(DOT4) is inexpensive and widely available. Do not buy in bulk, just get 
1/2 litre for the change and keep the remainder for topping up. Get rid 
of the spare fluid after the two years with the next change.
