What you need to remember about Ajax devices batteries

  • The battery life is affected by a set of factors, which makes its calculations always approximate.
  • Always take into account temperature swings at the installation place of the detectors.
  • Do not activate settings that use the detector radio module more frequently, unless it’s necessary. We are talking about the Always Active mode and reducing the detector ping interval.
  • Use only high-quality cells from well-known manufacturers. Such cells are more expensive than analogs but last much longer. Replace the whole battery only, using the same type of cells produced by one manufacturer.
