He may have made a mistake but either way what he typed is 0.55A not 0.055A which would be 55mA 2 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 More sharing options...

Paulsen97 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 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.

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 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. 1 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-529460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
