Noninvertible limits of invertibles have no one-sided inverse

Suppose $a_n\to a$ in a unital Banach algebra, with each $a_n$ invertible. If $ba=1$, then $b{a}_n\to 1$, so $b{a}_n$ is invertible eventually by the Neumann series. Then $b=(b{a}_n)a_n^{-1}$ is invertible, and $a=b^{-1}$. The analogous argument with $a_{n}b\to 1$ treats a right inverse of an algebra element. Thus a noninvertible such limit admits neither type of one-sided inverse.
