dbaplaya Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello, I have a Texecom Premier, yesterday it started flashing up System Alert's Battery Fault. The unit is approx 1 year old. We had a workmen in the road from the early hours today and the power has been out for pprox 6 hours, just back on now. Will the system clear once the battery charges back up?

PeterJames Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The battery should have lasted a min 12 hrs if its the correct size, it weill take 24hrs to fully recharge but after around 4 hrs you should be able to clear the message. If your system was installed by a reputable installer and the battery is a quality brand, its the correct size for your system, and the panel supply is adequate enough to charge it, you will be fine.

sixwheeledbeast Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Premier would also power itself down at around 11.5v to stop the battery from becoming damaged. So it's not got to the stage where the battery is too low to recover if it's decent quality. You may need to code twice then reset to clear the system alerts. As above give it 4 hours or so, try to reset, if you still have a fault contact your installer. The recommended annual checks would pick up if the battery has lost any capacity, assuming the system is serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
