[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 503234, member: 4678"] Not worth messing around with load testing, for what they cost stick a new battery in and pretty much guaranteed to sort it. Most of the batteries are rubbish shipped over from china now and have a very limited lifespan. Half of our estate is a few years older than the other half, all had the alarms installed from new. Power cuts are common, majority of the slightly older houses the alarms go off, another year or two and it'll be the entire estate doing it. They just need a new battery in but Joe public never use the alarms, so don't want to pay to have them maintained and would rather put up with the sound of 15 houses alarms going off every time there's a power cut rather than paying for new batteries headbang They'd be far better disconnecting them and saving the electric of it running on standby. The insurance isn't valid if you claim to have one but then don't maintain it, nobody bothers at the sound of alarms anymore, unless they're dialling out they're pretty much useless. [/QUOTE]
