THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! mine was just beeping nonstop, and I don't use it. I was just going to rip all the wires out and destroy the panel until I found your video.
@@americanwirelessalarmsecur7805 I was about to contact seller of my new battery because my system still shows low battery. I will wait three hours or so, I can crimp the connectors as well if it still says low batter.
@@unbreakableironman If you own a multimeter disconnect the battery and meter the quick connect leads. If the panel charging circuit is working properly it should measure between 13-14 volts DC. If it is the new battery is bad.
Thank you! I had a SUPER annoying brinks security system that would beep every 24 hours and I never could figure out how to get it to stop and saw your video so I took out the battery! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this video. It was tremendously helpful! I'm heading to Batteries Plus tomorrow and feel confident I can replace the old battery. It's easy! I'm going to get the larger battery. I live in Florida so power outages, especially during hurricanes, can last quite a while.
No limit. The narrator is using the wrong terminology. The batteries have an *ampere-hour* (Ah) rating, meaning that they can deliver a certain amount of current for "x" number of hours. That means a 12 V 7.0 Ah battery will last 75% longer than a 12 V 4.0 Ah battery until its voltage drops to the point where the alarm system won't work anymore. More important, the battery must have the correct _voltage_ rating for your alarm system, which is usually 12 VDC.
I can't find the transformer to turn power off to change the battery. It's 101° degrees here, and it would be my luck for the transformer to be in the attic where I'm sure it's scorching hot. Not everyone should have to do this on their own. IJS

This was very helpful. Especially the hint that it might take a few hours for the System Low Battery notice to disappear. Thank you!
I'm glad our video helped, thank you for commenting.

My pleasure, happy to hear my video helped you. Thanks for commenting.
Same here - central Florida. Our system started beeping this morning with ‘low battery’.
Thank you. This video was helpful for my church. 👍
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much. You helped me !!!
How high of amps can u go?

If my panel is officially dead after our last power outage will replacing this battery still bring it back to life ?
Thank you for the information.
