These are general guidelines only and will vary with every system and every battery, but we would advise that you monitor your system based on these guidelines. Wireless Alarm systems 1-32 zones: 6 hours as it uses less power. Between 1-32 zones: if there is no power pack will last 3 hours.
Between 1-16 zones: 3-4 hours on a fully charged battery. Wired Alarm Systems Between 1-8 zones: will generally last between 4-6 hours on a fully charged battery.

The batteries we use are deep discharge batteries and lithium ion which are the best available. This means that the battery does not need to be totally dead for your alarm system and signal transmitting device to shut down.įor this reason, it is very important that you immediately act and replace the battery when you are informed of a “battery low” condition.

The purpose of the battery is to provide power to the alarm system in the event of power failures and in addition powers the device responsible for always sending signals to the control center. This has a severe impact on your alarm system and the service that any security company provides.Įvery alarm system has a battery back-up.
