What was found

DURING SERVICE CHECK, MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LEFT AND RIGHT AFT EMERGENCY EXIT SIGNS NOT ILLUMINATING. TROUBLE SHOOTING PER WDM 33-51-12 AND 33-51-14 ALLOWED DISCOVERY THAT THE EMERGENCY LIGHT BATTERY PACKS B5-105 AND B5-212 HAD FAILED. BOTH BATTERY PACKS WERE REPLACED AND THE OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD. THE AIRCRAFT IS OK FOR SERVICE. (LP 4586658)
