Turn the power off and run it off the battery for a few minutes. If it dies quickly, there's probably a dead cell. If not, replace it next year. Don't let it stay there for more than about 5 years.
Hi all,
After our power recently went out, I got the typical power down trouble report on a Bosch Solution 6000. Though thereafter I am not able to clear a ‘battery low’ and ‘battery missing’ message. The battery is 4 years old.
I have tested the voltage of the battery, which reads at ~13.4v. Out of interest I also measured the voltage coming out of the panel terminals, I got ~0.8v (I assume it trickle charges??)
I have also done a battery test from the panel by entering my pin + menu + 7,9,1. I get no results from this test, as in it reads; battery test in progress and then after a minute goes back to the menu. It should be noted, I have have only seen a result a couple of times when performing this test, even when the alarm was newly installed and operating properly.
Finally, when I reconnect the battery I see the charge light glow for a few seconds to bring it back to an acceptable level.
So, before I buy a new battery, has anyone any further suggestions to what I should be checking?

Not unless the panel is faulty.
I think you should get more than 0.8 volt coming out from the panel.
