What was found
THIS IS ONE OF THE ELT`S THAT USES DATED FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES. THE BATTERIES ARE STILL IN DATE BUT OFTEN WE FIND THAT THE BATTERIES ARE LEAKING OR DEAD BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. RECOMMEND THAT THE BATTERIES ARE CHANGED AT EACH ANNUAL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BATTERIES ARE CHEAP ENOUGH. (K)
