GSD i70 panel battery replacement

stimpson

I’ve been going around replacing the lithium batteries on sensors over the last couple of weeks. However it’s now showing a Battery Low fault on the system panel.

Is it straightforward to open it up and replace the battery and clear the tamper? How long should it last before the battery dies?

Not an easy battery to source. It's a battery pack or multiple Rechargeable batteries wired in series.

If you bring the old battery to battery world they can make you up one.

Great. Will the tamper clear like it does with the sensors when I enter my use code?

Yes, once you fix the fault it should clear

For anyone following this, I got this battery: https://www.batteryupgrade.ie/shopBrowser.php?assortmentProductId=23530436&shopGroupId=84926832

It has the same connector, but the polarity is reversed. It's simple to pop the pins out and reverse them, or you could cut the cables and swap them around and solder/tape them together.
