In the event of a power outage, your alarm system’s backup battery or power supply is the only thing that keeps your property protected.
Due to the nature of these types of batteries and the amount of power they need to supply your alarm system with, it is not uncommon for alarm system batteries (of any type, brand or place of origin) to lose their power over time. As such, if batteries are not regularly serviced and/or replaced, your property will not be protected during a power cut.
Power cuts can happen for any number of reasons, most significantly of which is in the event of a burglar disabling your property’s power supply.
It is highly recommended that your alarm system’s backup battery be serviced at least once a year for domestic properties and most insurance companies ask that commercial properties have their batteries checked at least once every six months (twice a year).

Having your battery installed by a professional will ensure optimal operating time and the correct wiring – installing a backup battery on your own can lead to complications down the line, which may otherwise go unnoticed.
