Default Sump Pump Backup battery question

Water powered pumps out pump battery powered. Batteries only last a few
hours. How will you know when the batteries need replacing, there is no
indicator of low capacity, only dead. Of course you will not do a Load
Test every few years as you need to do, failure to pump or flooding will
likely be your first indication of battery powers drawback. They truely
give false security.
