Hello, I have a question please.
I have 6 of these on my motorhome , all have new batteries and I have tested with a multimeter that each little stack of 3 batteries is delivering 4.5v to the device.
3 start up and bleep immediately and work fine.
The other 3 sometimes start fine but very often take maybe a minute to bleep and start up and begin flashing their warning lights. Almost as if the batteries are failing to 'charge' perhaps a capacitor of something inside? Sometimes they don't start at all.
Has anybody found the same?
Does this mean they are duff?
I know they are cheap trashy things but they do give a level of (probably psychological only) of security at night.
To replace them could anybody please recommend suitable alternatives?
