Waterproof battery
 

I got to change a battery on alarmed exit device,
yesterday. It's on outdoor door, and gets wet.

The manager wants to know if I can provide a
waterproof battery, so it will last longer.

I took out a Heavy Duty and put in alkaline.
Sigh.

Hi,
Why not Lithium ones?

Costs more. Not required.

Does 'wetness' really discharge the battery, or was this tongue in cheek?
water proof a battery?! does that include the metal connectors?! More
like a 'water proof system' here. Alkaline works great, as long as no
detection going on for 'low battery' indication.

Pot the batteries with RTV (silicone calk) It's will be a bitch to change
them but they will be waterproof.

He can "waterproof" it if he encapsulates it in mineral oil.

He can make it "water resistant" with _RUSTOLEUM
Neverwet Liquid Repellant Kit_?

Costs more the first time, but how about when the interval is increased
by factor of 10 or more?

So, I can get paid to replace the battery once
every five years instead of a couple times a year?
Remember, I get paid to replace the battery.

A good worker provides great value, but in
this case, I don't want to value myself
out of a job. I get paid by the trip.
