Battery recharging or is it 'shot'?

Storm Arwen meant that we were without electricity for 10 days. When the power initially went off, the interior alarm sounded as usual, and I silenced it by keying in the user code on the keypad. However, I then forgot about the alarm system until day 3 without electricity, and belatedly realised I needed to remove the battery which was being drained, which I did. Obviously, when the cover was lifted the tamper switch triggered the alarm, which was silenced when I removed the battery terminals.

So, now we're back on mains electricity again, and I've reinstalled the battery, and all seemed OK. Except, the battery light is flashing on the keypad, presumably indicating a low battery (according to the manual). I did test the battery before reinserting it into the panel, and it read 10 volts or thereabouts.

My questions are:

Will the low battery light keep flashing until the battery recharges itself (it's two days now since it was put back into the panel)?

Was 10 volts reading on the battery too low for the battery to recharge again, so that I need to buy a replacement (the battery was purchased in 2019 - see thread above)?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi All,

I have the above alarm and just replaced the battery but in my panic I seemed to have changed settings on the alarm by mistake. I have tried using the manual to fix but nothing seems to work. Every time I open the front door the keypad starts chiming. If I shut the door the chiming stops. I cant set my easy set #1 or #2 either. Any thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks
