Provided is a fixed-state testing device including a pressing part that presses a battery, a load detection part that detects a pressing load with which the battery is pressed, and a determination part that determines whether the state of fixing of the battery to a retention hole is good or bad. The determination part determines the fixed state of the battery to be good when the battery is able to maintain the pressing load within a first test load range for a first pressing time and, moreover, to thereafter maintain the pressing load within a second test load range of which an upper limit load is smaller than a lower limit load of the first test load range for a second pressing time.

The invention relates to a device for monitoring the lifetime of at least one hydraulic apparatus of an aircraft that is subject to ventilations in hydraulic pressure during flight, comprising an interface for receiving measurement data which are representative of hydraulic pressure (P). The invention is characterised in that the device comprises a processing device, comprising a means for detecting a pressure (P) load (SOLL.sub.END) of a damaging nature, which load is defined by the fact that the pressure (P) comprises a pressure increase (ΔP.sub.AUG) that is greater than a predetermined damage threshold (S.sub.ΔP), followed by a pressure decrease (ΔP.sub.DIM) that is greater than the threshold (S.sub.ΔP), a means for calculating a pressure variation magnitude that is equal to the maximum increase (ΔP.sub.AUG) and the maximum decrease (ΔP.sub.DIM), a means for projecting the magnitude onto a decreasing curve or straight line of a damage model in order to determine the permissible number of loads corresponding to the magnitude, a means for calculating a potential damage ratio that is equal to a number of reference loads divided by the permissible number, a means for increasing a count of accumulated ratios by said ratio.
