How to know if house alarm batteries are running low

Question

Do house alarms inform you when their batteries are running low? Does it depend on the system and when it was made, etc.?

Alan · Answer

If you have a decent insurance approved alarm system it will give you notifications from the keypad when the batteries are running low

Michael · Answer

wireless or wired alarm systems always have the latest information about the state of the detector's batteries

If there is a drop in power, this will be displayed by the alarm panel long before the battery is completely flat so that you can replace the batteries in good time.

Do a regular weekly check by pressing the tester button.

Most alarm panels have a low battery indicator,

Which illuminates,  as a fault.

Hi Karen, yes it does depend on the type and age of system you have. All current Alarms should have a way of notifying you if the detector batteries ate getting low. Maybe it's time to think about an upgrade?!

Sean · Answer

Yes,  most alarms notify you when they are getting low. But does depend what system you have. It could be a lcd display which says low battery or a light on keypad. The alarm manual would tell you about this. Assuming you have one. 

Hope that helps
