Sterling 10 with dead battery

[quarkyUK]

Hello,

I have a Sterling 10 with (I guess) a dead battery (the alarm goes off when the power goes out). I don't have an engineer code for the alarm either.

I understand that I can change the battery in the control panel and that will fix the problem. So far, so easy in theory, but I am guessing it is more complex.

1) When I open the panel, I am going to set the tamper alarm off. Not having the engineers code, I assume there is nothing I can do about that and I just need to wait for the alarm to time out (15 minutes or so).

2) How can I remove the existing battery? Is it soldered in or just clipped in?

3) What type of battery is it?

4) Can I just put the battery in, close the alarm, and hey presto, everything is good again?

Thanks in advance..

You are making it too difficult.

Open the panel. Tamper will sound (indoors only). Enter code to stop it. Unclip battery. Fit new battery. Close panel and enter code to clear tamper.

Best battery is the big 7 amp hour but a smaller one will do.

Thanks Joe, you make it sound so easy I will give it a go.
