How will you be able to tell after a few days?

September 10, 20178 yr Author comment_468468 Presumably the battery voltage will start to drop.

September 10, 20178 yr comment_468469 Not after a few days it wont, you need to test it under load ideally with a load test meter, failing that you can current test the panel. The only way to test without a meter is to remove the mains for a few hours and see how long the panel stays live for, once the bell starts ringing put the mains back on for 24 hours, then remove it again. If the sounder sounds immediately the charging circuit is fooked.
