Simon,
If you're saying that a new battery may possibly fail. It is of course
possible. But testing before installation does help that significantly.
Yes, replacing things regularly is worthy of concern but more because the
connectors can fail. But their typical life cycle is long enough that I
thought a one or two year cycle wasn't concerning. Just test before
installation.
I suggested it because the one item that is expected to degrade over time is
the battery and will eventually need replacement. I was only suggesting a
replacement before failure. The user picks the time he's comfortable with.
Daryl, mentioned switch failure but since it doesn't cycle during flight I
didn't consider it significant. All I've had fail did so on the ground while
I cycled them. Naturally, it's tough to disagree with Daryl given his
credentials. I don't do so lightly.
