I am the new owner of an old Optima 2 Plus alarm. Can anyone tell me if the bell box contains its own battery, that is, in addition to the battery in the contol box?

Thanks

It should have a battery, if it is operacional... that's another matter. Easy to find out, disconnect mains and battery from main control panel. If the bell rings, it has an operacional battery, is it doesn't ring... battery is dead.

Also please be aware if you are going to open up your bell box if a strobe is fitted some heffty current is used too drive a strobe and it could give you a nasty belt(lethal in some cases)never had a belt myself but then have never grabed hold of a strobe whilst up at a bell!!!!!

Very cold this time of year for checking bell boxes .........don't see many batteries in dummy bell boxes

I got a nasty belt once, it wasnt up a ladder luckily, it was from Top Shop, nasty very plasticy with a buckle that broke in a week
