shipped in a plastic bag. Without lining.

I have a previous model of this timer. Although advertised as a backup battery, no spare batteries are supplied. But what if they fail and you have an electricity tariff that charges up to 49 cents per kilowatt during critical price peaks on hot summer days to prevent a grid failure? and you rely on this timer's batteries to set your watch to the right time, it could cost you! We installed it on a 1.5HP well pump. The batteries are said to last 3 months after charging as a backup. do not start the device, just keep the clock and settings correct. This assumes that the batteries are fine. I think it would help if a manufacture date was available. How long the battery lasts can only be guessed at without it. during his life. I'll give that a second try. Install second. (that's a financial and time cost) I'm concerned it was sent with no padding. I don't know if it will work until it's installed. The only reason we're replacing the first one at our expense is "batteries"? Capacitor? The previous timer works fine and works fine when plugged in and the SCE didn't turn off the power. I will follow! We have a water heater timer with a replaceable battery! They can be found.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Piggy bank price
