It was a basic explanation I was going for, something that even you would understand ;-)

Ohms law v/i=r in the case of a battery how much current is in the battery dictates how much voltage it can produce, and how much resistance (current drawn) will have an effect on that voltage too. A fully charged battery would normally be 13.5vdc 12v could mean that the battery is discharged and requires charging. It could also mean that the battery is no good ( There is a reason they are supplied partially charged). The battery is supplied to the distributor with a charge but not fully charged. While its sitting on the shelf it will over time discharge, but it takes a while and its not good for the battery. We as a company have a high turn over of batteries, so we never have a discharged battery on any of our van stock, or in our stores they dont sit around long enough to. The manufacturers recommended life span of a battery is 4 years, but because a battery is a consumable it entirely depends on how much it has been used as to how quick it becomes past its best. I am not talking about how many power cuts either, mains is never a constant and you get spikes and dips, so how clean the mains electricity is that is supplied to your alarm effects the life and condition of battery.

I think we can all guess what the problem is and the place of purchase will only confirm what we are all thinking.

where did you buy the new battery?

You're on the other forum now

We have a client software that should work with the older machines. We now have the UK OEM license for the old Leviathan machine and we have rebranded it as our own. EliseDVR_VClient_5_0_11_161_adv_[XpVsW7].exe

Hi Dave

Hi Bob

Long gone are the days of identifying components and replacing them. Cost of new panel versus cost of labour time, price of a new panel wins hands down every time. I would still check the keypad cables first though, there is nothing worse than replacing a system only to find that the new panel has the same fault as the old one

It probably is buggered, try the rkp on a short wire direct into the panel and see, It is hard to say based on what you have said, but it has to be over ten years old they stopped making them 10 years ago, theyre no longer supported, I would have replaced it already.

No if the data is down, if you power up the rkp without data it just lights up

Sounds like its beyond repair, lots of things it could be try wiring one of the keypads staight into the panel diss any existing keypad wires. If this works then you have a problem with one of the cables to the rkps. If it doesnt fix it then change the panel

Why are you worried about the price its not you that wants it?

Hi and welcome

Ive put you on Mod preview which means any further posts you make will be reviewed by Mods before they are published. This will be removed once we have established that you can work with the forums rules

Same one as me I suppose, in your shoes I wouldnt bother with free advertising in Gumtree either, you can see what sort of numpties that attracts

Now we all know all best the professionals advertise in local free adds, only crap installers bother with paying for accreditation and advertisment.

QFA cheap wont work, and the customer will be on the fone every 5 minutes driving you mad walk away

There's a thought, you could get a lot of kit on a bus, a lot more than you can in a Kangoo, and the longer ladders will fit inside

I fitted a load of those in across each of the windows in a big house in Ferring and they are still working now. God knows what we will replace them with if they ever fail. Really neat little IR beams.

Im too lazy

I had a brand new 6/14 on the shelf until we move September when I threw it in the scrap. Along with a brand new Bosh/Euro panel a prosys, and loads of other stuff, I had to be ruthless. Shame really there was some nice gear but I couldnt warranty it and it would be more trouble than its worth selling it cheap. Ebay is just a ball ache, so scrap man it was
