You should now be on your 3rd panel battery.
Rechargeable batts. do not last forever, 5yrs absolute maximum, earlier if found to be faulty.
If notice had been taken of my first post we would not be on page 2.
You, T.P.C., tell him where, you know as well as the rest of us, stop being a

Oh for heavens sake.
rickj63, turn off the mains supply to your control panel, the house if it is easier.
Open the panel, it will sound, so don't jump. Enter your code, that will stop it.
Write down the details of your battery, close up the panel, enter your code, turn the mains back on.
Go get your new battery, Maplin / Screwfix.
Go back home, follow the steps above, this time replace the battery.

Care to explain why?
Oh, and why the capital letters?
If he has a look first he can get the same size as a replacement,
What problem? It's you who can't answer simple questions when you know you're wrong T.P.C.
I posted it so the OP could make his own decision about the ability of unchained dazy to provide useful help for a speedy resolution.
since when did you assume the role of membership registrar for this forum. ?
How do I enter the code ? it's not bloody working ! I have no idea how long a battery lasts in these things , please if you can't help fair enough but don't tell me to turn alarm off via code when if you read my post I clearly state it ain't working ,
Daisy chain thanks for continued help , I can order battery via sites on eBay once I know which it is but that means opening cover and setting off the alarm for which the code pad does not work !!!

The keypad has crashed.
Switch off the mains. Open the panel. Remove the battery. Re-apply the mains. The thing will come back to life. Enter your code. Put the lid back on and go to Maplins for a battery.
If you aren't capable of doing that - then get someone in. Simples.
I've been told to open panel and shut the alarm up using the code , , if you guys other than daisy chain can advise how to use a dead keypad to shut alarm up then iam all ears ,
For last time , iam aware the battery needs changing , no I've no idea they don't last past 5 years , this had worked for 12 years up till now , if the only way to shut the alarm up once it's activated due to opening the box is via opening bell box to stop battery back up working then fine that's all I needed to know ,iam aware shutting power off won't stop alarm as the back up battery takes over , iam also aware the code pad does not work , I posted that info In original post , so with the greatest respect please don't say turn the alarm off via code pad , if I could do that battery would ofGbeen replaced , iam capable of replacing a battery and inputting my alarm code !
