a) the right engineering codes (which will give you access to opening the alarm panel without setting off a tamper) If you’ve got a Compact 8 (i.e. the smallest Veritas alarm) you should buy the smallest battery – i.e. the 2.1ah battery. BUY 2.1ah BATTERY HERE >> We receive data from battery manufacturers and this may be subject to change and / or manufacturing tolerances. Changing a battery in a Texecom Veritas R8 alarm panel is relatively simple - that is if you have the correct engineering codes and you have the confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity.

Commonly used in Alarm Systems, Emergency Lighting, Torches, UPS systems and other electrical systemsThat said, if you have a certain level of competence around electrics then you should be able to work out what to do. Again, that is heavily dependent on you having As part of our ISO 9001 quality procedure, quality control tests are frequently carried out on all our products. The Yuasa NP series of battery set the standard for quality and excellence in the field of rechargeable lead acid batteries. The high-quality battery ensures that no electrolyte leakages occurs from the case or terminals. This battery is almost maintenance free with the perfectly sealed construction and the recombination of gases within the cell. Manufactured to the highest quality standards, the NX™ 12V 2.3Ah lead acid battery's AGM separators improve reliability and extend battery life. This 12V 2.3Ah battery meets the requirements of leading manufacturers. The final factor to consideris to make sure you don't buy cheap / counterfeit batteries- as these may cause a fire danger to your property. Only buy from a reputable vendor. What battery does my Veritas alarm use?

The NX™ 2.3-12 battery is also suitable for non-intensive, low current cyclic use. We recommend the NX™ Cyclic range for more intensive cyclic use. And if you've got an R8 (i.e. a Veritas alarm with a remote keypad) we'd recommend buying either the 3.4ah or 7ah. BUY3.4ah battery HERE >> For the Veritas 8, we’d recommend buying the 3.4ah battery (the mid-sized option). BUY 3.4ah BATTERY HERE >>

N.B. before you change the battery, you need to identify whether the battery in your panel is a 2.1ah battery or 7ah battery. We’d generally recommend using the 7ah battery – as this lasts longer in a power cut scenario – however it depends on the amount of space available inside your alarm panel. We can advise on who to identify the type of battery via our remote telephone service ( find out more here >>) AGM batteries are preferred when a larger number of amps are required. The life expectancy remains excellent in most cases if they are not discharged more than 60% between recharges and/or recharged fully every 3-6 months. If you’ve got the 2 main elements above (i.e. engineering codes and a new Veritas alarm battery) then all you need to do is: If you have a problem with your alarm battery and want to change your Veritas alarm battery (Compact, V8 or R8), the good news is that it’s a relatively simple thing to do – that is if you have the correct engineering codes and you have the confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity. If you don’t know how much space is inside, our recommendation would be to go for the 3.4ah battery- as this is the most flexible battery option. Overall recommendation

The NP battery series uses a unique electrolyte suspension system incorporating a microfine glass mat (AGM) to retain the maximum amount of electrolyte in the cells. The reason I say ‘confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity’ is that as with most alarm panels, the inside of an alarm panel can be a spaghetti soup of wires - wires connected to both 12V circuits and also 240V, and obviously you don’t want to make any errors in this type of scenario as you’ll either

We’d generally recommend the 3.4ah, as it’s guaranteed to fit. BUY 3.4ah BATTERY HERE >> The valve regulated design of this battery is equipped with a safe low-pressure venting system, which releases excess gases and automatically reseals should there be a build-up of gas within the battery due to overcharging.
