[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 459527, member: 23472"] I would say Andy is spot on with regard to the battery. Your panel can have either a 12v 1.2 Ah battery or a 12v 2.1 Ah battery, I would opt for the 2.1. They are easy to change, open the panel, the internal sounder will activate, enter your code, change the battery, close the panel carry out your panel reset procedure. Detectors do degrade over time (depends on their environment) but a good gentle clean with a soft cloth will do no harm and remove any cob webs. (Don't poke the "window" of the detector it may already be fragile) Your system is old, so if you call anyone out, chances are they will want to sell you a new one just because yours is old, and they will still have to change the battery, and charge for the privilege. Lots of place sell the batteries on line, less hassle is to buy the same size (capacity) as what is already there, but the bigger one will be better. [/QUOTE]
