jimmyb789 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is a pic of my bellbox. There's no sign of any screw holding the front on. So how do I remove it to check the battery? I don't want to just start trying to pry it off or I'll probably end up breaking it/ pulling the whole thing off the wall. Any advice greatly appreciated.

PeterJames Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If the bell still sounds when you down power it then why are you changing the battery? Its not essential that the sa battery is replaced unless it is really u/s, the chances of someone breaking in to your property and completely down powering the alarm system is low. The bellbox looks like a Nova 6 so there is a screw behind the blue lense if you look closely you will see there is screw cover in the lense. Personally I would not bother until the battery fails completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb789 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the very useful info, Peter James. There does look to be some kind of screw cover in the centre of the blue lens. Does it just flip off if you wedge a screwdriver into it? Also, do you know if the battery is easy to change in a Nova 6 (ie not soldered into place)?

datadiffusion Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 They've been discontinued already and you can't buy them anywhere? Interesting for something touted as being so great it has a 10 year warranty.

datadiffusion Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It's just a standard 7aH battery, but I was feeling rich and going to replace it with one of those lead-carbon ones. So when I couldn't find them on RS I came to this thread hoping there would be a part no. But there isn't, they have clearly given up on them and if you google Lead Carbon 7aH, you get nowt of any relevence. So will just bang a standard Yuasa back in off the shelf, no sweat.
