the issue with using cheap batteries is not so much them not lasting long but the RISK of them leaking and ruining your alarms
IMHO simply not worth it

Take mine out after every session. Surely that must prolong life.

Blimey Braders Posted the alarm by Special Deliver (To get the insurance cover) yesterday. Received a text to say that they had received it this morning.
Just had a text saying I'll receive it back tomorrow!!
Think they've replaced it
Great service 👍

Really weird, I've had Duracell in my TXI'Ds since the middle of March and no issues, intact I'd be surprised if they didn't last all year.

My old TXI pluses drained battery quickly, it might be worth getting them checked out by delkim. That's what I'd probably do anyway.

Just buy a bloody Duracell in your next online or store supermarket shop!
Easy!

Aldi seems to have stopped selling their batteries in sizes other than AAA and AA ?

but I would NEVER EVER use anything other than a top rated battery purely because of the danger of leaking batterys ruining your alarm
and as we all know decent batteries in Delkims last 2 or 3 seasons so no need for false economy
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
