Hi,
I have an Intellisense 800L burglar alarm system, which was installed in 2000. When I shut off the mains lighting circuit the alarm is activated and the control panel (touch pad) goes dead (i.e. no lights). This has just started happening recently.
I have a feeling the battery may be failing, but the current battery is only about 2 years old. And anyway, I thought the battery would be recharged by the mains? Does this sound like I need a new battery? If so, will any 12V battery of the correct dimensions be ok, or do I need a special rechargeable type?
Cheers for any help.
