Perishibility of Boiled Eggs

Was thinking of boiling and peeling a bunch of eggs to leave in the refrigerator for when I was hungry.

How long will they last if I take the shells off of all of them at once, so I can just go, grab, and eat?

How much longer will they last if I don't?

Thank you.

    I know they last about a week if you leave them in the shell.

    I suspect it's considerably shorter than that if you don't.

    If you put them in vinegar the last forever

    I've boiled and peeled eggs then left them in a container submerged in water. They were still good for about six days, but were frequently eaten before then.

    stilltasty.com (which I think is usually a little conservative) says 1-2 weeks in the shell and 1 week out of the shell. And 3-4 months pickled in vinegar.
