Yeah, pretty much self taught in everything.Erm, I figured out most of the stuff on my own? There's Google as well.

I still think there is something wrong in your system, either too high draw or a bad battery installed (not meeting needed spec).
Probably also not a LiPo battery, so the repeated over 50% dischharge destroyed its cycles, can easily be done within the four months.
As I said before, do bother that one son of yours and see if he can help you figure it out.
You can change your alarm settings. I managed to get the manual and admin code for mine so I tweak it as needed.You can’t just drop a LiPo into most of these systems as there isn’t special charge controller for it.
It’s simply a case of the repeated load shedding back to back affecting the full recharge cycles.
It does of course also fully discharge in some cases, but I think in most of these cases it’s a kind of false positive issue as mine triggers for some reasons an hour or so after full power is restored.
Longer amp hour batteries can do the job but usually there isn’t space for them and the price difference often means you may as well just replace the alarm battery again in a few months.

Jeez, they don't make it easy.Oh I have the manual but couldn’t find anything particular to this issue.
But I should dig into it again.

No the panel is completely dark before the power comes back on. And as I say - I just recently replaced the battery. Replaced it last year too. I am investigating options for inverter power but they are expensive and I have lots of things that need repairing. They start the pool tomorrow.You can’t just drop a LiPo into most of these systems as there isn’t special charge controller for it.

I will call the alarm company and find if there is a better solution

Can get it cheaper than this, but as an e.g.No the panel is completely dark before the power comes back on. And as I say - I just recently replaced the battery. Replaced it last year too.

Never said you could, said it's probably a lead acid battery and therefore load shedding would wreck it quickly if it wasn't quite a bit higher capacity than required.You can’t just drop a LiPo into most of these systems as there isn’t special charge controller for it.
Which you then say in the next sentence.It’s simply a case of the repeated load shedding back to back affecting the full recharge cycles.
You'd need to check, can't know without knowing the circumstances. And if power draw is very high, you can always hook up the batteries in parallel, e.g. keep one in the roof, run a cable to alarm system.It does of course also fully discharge in some cases, but I think in most of these cases it’s a kind of false positive issue as mine triggers for some reasons an hour or so after full power is restored.

Those should drop in price next year btw, patent set to run out.At the Lab they are getting fed up with having to change the UPS batteries so often. I currently have two of these on test and it's looking good so far.
They are a direct drop in replacements that work with the normal lead acid chargers.

In testing it kept a computer (old I5) and a 20 inch screen, streaming DSTV, alive for over an hour and a half, I stopped it because the UPS was getting hot.
That is very good news indeed, they are pricey.Those should drop in price next year btw, patent set to run out.
CNBC actually did a good news piece on it (very rare, there are still some errors in the video, like the how cobalt is still child labor and stuff which is super rare and they say common, media over-exaggeration):@Johnatan56 you have piqued my interest now, what do they hold the patent on?
It can't be the BMS or the cells, is it the form factor?
Did you check the alarm status leds to see what zone triggered it?Sorry, my alarm just went off. Checked and everything appears to be fine. Meh...
Yeah was my Office. All the windows are closed. Probably just a gecko or something.Did you check the alarm status leds to see what zone triggered it?
