james.wilson Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 voltage of a battery doesn't mean its ok. You either need to out some load on it to test its capacity. The reason its reading so high is because its just come off charge Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

karl taylor Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Ok. Thanks for that information. When i get a replacement new one i will see what voltage it comes supplied to me at then i leave it on the panel and leave the system in engineer mode for a few days for it to charge up then take another reading. As well as taking a reading off my old one which should have discharged slightly. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks To discharge it you need to put a load on it, leave the battery connected and diss the mains this will discharge the battery slowly, a good battery should keep the system working between 8 and 12 hours depending on the current drawn. The less time it lasts the poorer the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
