Abacus system TRBL POWER fault

[Titch007]

Hahahaha. . .  Btw,  I took the panel off and found this... Ordered an identical one.. Out of interest, it says rechargeable. Is it worth recharging in future or just change?

Its constantly recharging, it is powering your alarm, and the mains is charging it. After four years the cells breakdown and they are no longer able to hold the charge. Hence why the panel was reporting power trouble. Leaving replacement longer eventually kills the charging circuit of the control panel and replacing the battery doesnt fix the fault (Well it does for a few hours/days)

What he means to say is it might be too late, not always the case though, so a new battery is worth a try (p.s no idea why this is a quote - it keeps happening on Chrome though, can't be deleted and you can't put normal text below and is getting very annoying)

See, it's ok this time. Its bloody annoying.

 

But back to this fight thing, it's nearly Children In Need / Red Nose Day / ITV Telethon comeback special, so how about

a LIVE pay-per-view punchup? I'd happily weigh in with £1.50 to start us off?

Nothing wrong here on Chrome quoting, but I suppose they don't make provisions for stupid.
