Anyone know a good place to get replacement home alarm batteries for the control/panel box? My door chime keeps beeping every so often out of no where, my family friend said it's the battery is done.

[Xu.Vi]

Thread jacking a little, mine does the same thing. Anyone know how to completely just remove the battery?

Get out the manual and see what is causing the beeping. It's most likely the battery, but it could be other things.

Look for the trouble light and press whatever key to activate the diagnostics.

You can temporarily turn the beeping off (bypass).

All this is in the manual. If no manual, look up model number and find pdf on Internet.

What make/model alarm is it? An intermittent beeping could mean a number of things.

Most standard panels use a small (probably 4 or 5Ah) 12V lead-acid "gel cell" battery (http://www.rpelectronics.com/bt-12v5-12-volt-5-0ah-rechargeable.html); if you or someone you know has a wholesale account at a place like Tri-Ed or ADI, they can be had for around $8. Retail they'll run about $25-$30.

Snipping the wires to battery, or removing the battery, won't help - that will just make the beeping more insistent.

[Euro7r]

^It's not constantly beeping. I don't know, maybe once an hour/few hours?

My zone 1 light lit red on but doors/windows is closed and the ac light is lit yellow.

[Euro7r]

Mines uses a 12V 1.2AH

[Soundy]

What alarm is it? Look on the circuit board in the can, see if there's a model number on it.

Paradox Spectra 1738 if I recall.

[Soundy]

AH yeah, I used to have a Paradox in my old townhouse. Lemme see what I've got on it... do you know what keypad you have?

Non LCD keypad

[Soundy]

Yeah, when you press the TRBL or TBL button, LED 1 lighting up indicates no/low battery. a 4Ah battery is recommended for that alarm, BTW.

Thanks!! The original battery is 1.2AH. Should I stick with that?

[Euro7r]

The darn thing takes 2 batteries as well

[Soundy]

Should only need one, but if you're getting a low battery alert, they're probably both toast. Go for a 4 or 5... gives longer run-time when the power is off. Two 1.2s totals up to only 2.4Ah... so a 5Ah will be twice that capacity.

Thanks. Will go replace these suckers. Beer on me if we ever meet somewhere down the road =P. Much appreciated on the assistance!

Bought mine from polar battery on Boundary for cheap

[Euro7r]

Got the batteries from Battery world. Thanks everyone.

*Side question*
- Anyone know of alarm professionals that can reset my entire alarm system? I remember setting up the access code but forgot now since I actually rarely/never use the alarm system since moving in. It's possible to reset everything?

I don't want to try any DIY or trial and error LOL. I don't mind paying a professional to reset everything.

how do you know which model of alarm system you have. My parents keep asking me to reset all the alarm codes because we have no clue what the codes are for all of them

You have to find the circuit box hidden in your house and it tells you what model on the circuit board.

[Soundy]

You have two separate issues:

1. you need to set the clock to stop the beeping
2. you need the master code to set the clock, and that's probably been changed

So first you need to do a full reset of the panel (per my PM'd instructions), which will set all codes to default. THEN you can get into the programming and set the time and set a new master code.

[moody]

My alarm once kept beeping every 10 min or so. I thought it was the battery and later found out it was the.fuse thay was blown.
