The latest I read is that the batteries are going to run out tomorrow.

According to Anish Patel, who heads Dukane Seacom, the pinger's manufacturer, the signal doesn't stop abruptly. Rather, it weakens gradually as the batteries die.

Yesterday, Patel said Malaysian Airlines had not sent in any pingers for battery replacement in the last several years. The MH370 pinger was due for battery replacement in 2012 and was next due in 2014. However, Patel said the airline could have had the work done by other providers.
