karl taylor Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Purchased a new battery for the alarm system which is a risco cpx with a gardec 8 zone expander. The original battery in the alarm system is 5 years old so thouht better change it The battery original fitted is a genessis np2.3 -12. 12v 2.3ah I have fitted a new same make battery genessis np2.3-12 FR. 12v 2.3Ah Upon fitting the new battery i am niw getting a fault on the key board that says. Fuse / battery fault causing the internal alarm to go off. Soon as swap it back to my old battery the fault has gone. Do you need to set or adjust any thing on this alarm system so it knows it has a new battery? Or is it more than likely i have a faulty new battery or it is not compatible to my old one? As it says on the new battery NP 2.3 -12 FR. 12v 2.3ah. And my original one does not say FR Or is it just a straight forward plug and swap over no programming issue when changing the control panel battery? so i have a faulty new battery? Has any one come across this issue before please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can all guess what the problem is and the place of purchase will only confirm what we are all thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
