I have one of these which went off last night when we had a mini-power cut of a few minutes.
The battery was last changed 4 years ago so I'm assuming that it's time for a new one and am hoping to save myself the hundred quid or so it cost last time for the installers to come out.
Have googled the engineering info (http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Ade/4pi175_A-G3_inst.pdf) the system and found under battery
Accenta/Optima G3
mini/compact - 12V, 1.2
or 2.1Ah
Accenta/Optima G3
- 12V, up to 7Ah
Am I right in thinking that it's the second one - 12V, up to 7Av that I want - and when I go into the shop, exactly what do I ask for? e.g. "a house alarm battery 12V up to 7Ah" or do I need to know a particular physical size or something else?
Also, once I've got it, please could someone help with instructions for a very UN-diy person as to EXACTLY what to do from walking in the front door with new battery under arm in order to replace it?
Many thanks not only from me, but also the neighbours!
