[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 822797, member: 746"] A radio draws 2.5 amps from the battery when transmitting. It will do this 3 times over a 40 second period. If the battery was weak, this would draw a large current from the power supply, which would in turn draw more current from the mains Solution - See if there are any additional cables attached to the battery-alarm cable (this would be for a radio transmitter) and disconnect the red one Replace the battery. A good one lasts 4 years. It is a 12 volt 7.0 a/h battery, should cost under R180 [/QUOTE]
