Batteries don't become weaker when you take off the shrink wrap. They however do have a shelf life (just like food) and the longer they stay on the shelf the weaker they become. Most batteries come with dates now. There is always a tiny bit of chemical reaction takes place within the battery and the voltage drops slowly over a long period of time.
However Boss pedals bleed the battery when the guitar jack in plug in the instr. input even when not in use. Sometimes an adapter can be a investment because it eventually pays for itself, when you consider the price of batteries.
