Hi all,

I have a Visonic Powermax Alarm System for my home. After 3 years use I had the error code appear saying Z02 Low battery.  I googled the issue and found , "Z01/Z02 etc - Refers to a battery fitted in a magnetic contact or PIR detector etc." I ordered the exact battery (GP Lithium CR2) from Amazon and after operating as normal for a day, the error code has come back again - Z02. Has anyone else had similar experiences with these alarms and can point me in the right direction? 

 

Also never use cheap nasty batteries if it's reporting low battery, still, chances are it's cheap poor quality batteries

Random battery's from amazon have never been an issue for me, any old tat will do 2 years

 

However visonic radio tat does weird stuff with age, I rip it out & fit something from Rotherham' silicon valley

Cr123's

 

I had number of panasonic (red & gold) have very short life's of weeks or months, 

 

Out of thousands - Camelion couple of weepy ones in the packet, the only failure in the field was a risco keypad melting !

 

Hundreds of Rapthor no issues, liked the packaging best !

 

I say the best quality lithium's batteries are GP,

 

However I suspect the best & worst could well be the same stuff made in the same factory ?

I have been using panasonic for years, no issues.

 

 

Had a detector go tits up a couple of weeks ago on a powermax plus, devices no longer available.

 

But before knew replacements were not available, i did mention to the mega money client, might be worth upgrading the system! You know the reply lol. 

I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
