Ademo 5894PIR Wireless Motion Detectors Battery Life
I like seeing the Red LEDs light up when the Motion Detector is activated as in the walk test.
I have them turned off now as per the instructions to save battery life.
If I leave the LEDs turned on, what length of battery life can I expect in these Motion detectors ?
Thanks
Chuck

Ok,
Actually on the outside of the 5894PIR box it states the battery life is 10 years (there's 3 cells in parallel), so I was hoping for a couple years battery life with the LED on.
I think I'll give it a try on one motion detector, since the panel is notified of low voltage batteries
Thanks

One rule about wireless devices: Whatever the listed battery life is, assume that the real world battery life is 1/2 to 2/3 of the manufacturers claim.
It has as much to do with variations in the battery quality than anything else.
