james.wilson Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 assuming they are decent batteries (i dont know what your calling good ones) then you may have a device issue.

james.wilson Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Can't see how that would have any effect on an rf device battery. What are you classing as good batteries? I don't know the Eaton stuff I presume it's using lithium? Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

PeterJames Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Agreed with James, I too dont know ion stuff but assuming its two way wireless and lithium batteries you should get 18 months minimum. Are you able to adjust the rf poling? its the only thing that could be draining the battery, but in that case I would expect them all to be coming up low battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 1 way alkaline, its cheaper to replace the battery every 6 month than replace the items... Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Are they disposable batteries? I have had Scantronic contacts flatten batteries in 9-10 months regularly but never as little as 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently sub says I want to change my own batteries , I said carry on , after a few weeks of continuous tamper alarm alarms because they couldn't close covers properly, they kept getting low batteries, changed battery reset keeps coming back same problem They bought as I suggested Duracell lithium cr123 Another few weeks still don't want to pay me to come , so I say carry on..... Eventually they tell me, they bought them from Amazon general supplier (china copy maybe???) I said buy them from somewhere else see what happens Fault disappears and they return all the batteries bought from Amazon , woohoo Problem here is Amazon or eBay or many places can't guarantee supply chain ? Just a side story , where you buy your batteries from ? I don't think your sensor goes sleep either ....

james.wilson Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Good god that's a story I'll pass on. As a side note lithium not alkaline?
