What is the procedure for changing the battery on an Accenta Mini? My alarm has had the same battery for 7 years and is starting to go off for no reason. Do I just downpower the alarm by taking out the fuse beforehand?

no, just open it up (enter your code to silnce the noise) take the battery out and take it to maplin and by another one the same.
when you have the new battery reverse the procedure

You'd be better off without the risk of electric shock
Seriously though, aslong as you dont start prodding about with bits you arn't sure about, and just swap the battery, you will not be at risk of electric shock.
If you remove the power and battery at the same time, you risk the panel 'forgetting' its programming.

Help... I changed the battery but noticed a few days ago that the alarm had gone off again while I was out. It seemed to be ok for a few weeks and then this. I did think it might be mice but I put down traps and plugged in a pest shield so I cannot blame mice.
Anyone have any idea why the alarm goes off for no reason?

Could be any number of things.
Is it the same zone causing the alarm every time?

so you dont know which one then?
and you dont know what they are
they could be coming unstable
have you looked inside them (may be a spider has moved in (it does happen)
checked the voltage at the detector
checked the voltage at the detector with mains off at the panel
has anything fallen down
excessive draughts, window left open
anything moved
have you changed what the detector is "looking at" ie, new wall, mirror changed the heating on / off times
do they / it go off round the same time
checked the connections are tight
moved the detector

When I come back after being out for about 1 hour, either zone 4 or zone 7 is flashing on the small panel. I don't think I can look inside them, I would not know how to check voltage at the detector (is this the sensor?).
Nothing has fallen down, no draughts, nothing moved, no new mirrors etc.
