He may have made a mistake but either way what he typed is 0.55A not 0.055A which would be 55mA 😉 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/47222-how-long-should-it-take-a-new-alarm-battery-to-charge/page/2/#findComment-529361 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

May 7, 20251 yr comment_529459 When I replaced the 12V 7Ah battery in my Texecom panel, it took around 24 hours to fully charge. Most panels trickle charge at a low rate, so it’s normal for it to take a while. Just make sure your panel isn’t showing any battery fault after a day or so..if it is, double check the connections or battery health.

May 7, 20251 yr comment_529460 As JW stated the charging rate is in the standard. Larger premier panels have a charging rate selection jumper so you can adjust the rate depending on the battery and make sure it conforms.
