Accord Xpc Battery Light

[carefreeman]

Hi

I have a accord xpc alarm in my house which isn't used at all.

The other night I came home and the alarm inside was making a loud noise.

I typed in my code and it stopped but the battery light is now on.

As I don't use the alarm is this anything to worry about?

I want to know if its going to go off over and over again or thats it now I've typed my code in.

I will get someone in to replace it when I have some spare cash as the battery might leak I guess if I leave it forever?

I have no service plan and the house insurance is for a house without an alarm so thats not an issue. Its just about the dam thing going off again when I'm out annoying the neighbours and any damage it can be caused leaving it as it is.

Many thanks

You do need to chnage the battery. If you leave it it will damage the panel and may go off over and over

thanks for your reply, I'll get saving as these things are never cheap....

A battery is not expensive and you can do it yourself if confident.

A quick search here will find the process.

If you never plan on using it then get someone in to de-commission it rather than repairing it, or you'll just have the same problem again in a few years time.
