[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 508350, member: 250"] If the battery is 5v it is absolutely shot.. and needs replacing. They typically have a recommended lifespan of approx 5years. I doubt you will get much working without either replacing the battery, or disconnecting it.. Alarms can operate without a back-up battery, (obviously not during power failures), but a knackerd battery can prevent the alarm power supply from working the rest of the system correctly.. As they are designed to keep a good battery trickle charged.. but 99% of the time cannot cope with a absolutely fried battery.. It just drags the whole supply down. and/or possibly overheats the supply itself. Guinness [/QUOTE]
