My netbook battery lasts about 45 minutes if Im lucky ... its first generation acer with original battery. its the principal of the thing that annoys me. These are class 2 power supplies which by HSE own guidelines are just not worth testing. She is wrong if she thinks it only costs £2 to test .... I will challenge here (in front of Adrian Sanders) to find an electrician to do it for that, and besides £2 x 15 members is £30 a year, which could be spent better on training or promotion materials. Buying a new battery would cost more than the PAT test probably.
I've asked a friend who is an electrician how much he charges for PAT testing, I'll advise when I find out. £1 per item seems a bit cheap unless you're maybe getting a couple of thousand items done in one job lot. Even then it still seems a bit cheap to me.
