I assume 7ah, buy a quality make like Genesis or Yuasa, avoid Chinese no-name or 'Lucas' ones from eBay.

Lol thought Lucas were good ?

 

And genesis not Chinese?

enersys own yuasa iirc

^{Theres a difference between a global brand with a far eastern factory and crappy 'local' brands though.}

Ok, update.

 

I put in the engineer code (no on screen confirmation that i was actually in eng mode?)

 

Removed cover, no alarm.  I was met with this mess (see pic).

 

Upon pulling off the negative battery wire the alarm sounded saying 'control panel tamper, restore required'

 

Now what?  Anyone know of someone local to Hemel Hempstead that can fix this?

 

thanks, Paul

 

And the list of active faults:

batt fault

case tamper

low volts

batt critical

restore required

 

Right, got myself properly into eng mode (found instructions).

 

removed battery and all is still powered, I'll buy a new battery and try that.

roughly 12 months ago......

 

may 2014?

 

loving the extra long mains flex & screw missing from top left corner,

and its on the piss

 

OP as it says 9A/h on it I assume its a nasty battery? Does it rattle when you shake it?

Yes they've obviously used the battery from the old alarm.

 

Here is the battery from the front:

 

No idea why it says 9ah on the back!?

IBT reading was done in 2014 and read 9Ah.

How old it the battery (code on the top) and does it rattle.
