Woosh Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I personally would not recommend this what about a larger standby battery is the alarm monitored?

Yeah, If you know what your doing, and only if you know what your doing. a 66Ah car battery, trickle charged by the panel should run a domestic alarm, assuming 1/2 an amp idling current for about 5 or 6 days. How long are your power cuts ?

Seriously, you would need a change over relay for a start. You cannot have two charging supplies on one battery. If it is that isolated, how does the phone line stand up, or is it GSM?
