5.2.3  Replacing the Battery 
Replace batteries every 3 to 5 years under normal 
use. Record the date of installation directly on the 
battery.  
 
Caution: Exceeding the maximum output 
ratings or installing the transformer in an 
outlet that is routinely switched off causes 
heavy discharges. Routine heavy 
discharges can lead to premature battery 
failure. 
D8132 Boost Battery Backup: Adding a D8132 
Battery Charger Module supports additional batteries 
of up to 27 Ah capacity, if required.  
The control panel, plus any connected D8132 
Modules and auxiliary power supplies, must be on the 
same AC circuit to discharge evenly if AC power fails. 
The number of D8132 Modules is determined by the 
number of available outlets on the same circuit. Refer 
to the Standby Battery and Current Rating Chart in 
the D9412GV3/D7412GV3 Approved Applications 
Compliance Guide
 (P/N: F01U143069) for battery 
standby time calculations.  
5.2.4 Battery 
Supervision 
When battery voltage drops to 13.8 VDC, the yellow 
Charging Status LED illuminates. When the battery 
voltage drops to 12.0 VDC to 11.8 VDC, the red Low 
Battery LED lights, and the keypad or keypads display 
SERVC LOW BATT.  The control panel (if 
programmed for power supervision) sends a 
BATTERY LOW report in the Modem IIIa
2
 
communication format. It sends a Low System 
Battery (302) report in the Contact ID format.  
If the battery is missing or shorted, the red Low 
Battery LED flashes at the same rate as the green 
Operation Monitor LED. If the control panel is 
programmed for power supervision, it sends a 
BATTERY MISSING report in the Modem IIIa
2
 
communication format, or Control Panel Battery 
Missing (311) report in the Contact ID format. 
When battery voltage returns to 13.7 VDC, the Low 
Battery LED turns off and the keypad or keypads 
clear the SERVC LOW BATT message. If the control 
panel is programmed for power supervision, it sends 
a BATTERY RESTORAL report in the Modem IIIa
2
 
communication format or a Control Panel Battery 
Restored to Normal (302) report in the Contact ID 
format. At 13.9 VDC, the yellow Charging Status LED 
stops lighting.

Investigate Low Battery reports immediately: If 
primary (AC) power is off and the discharge 
continues, the control panel becomes inoperative 
when the battery voltage drops below 10.2 VDC.  
5.2.5  Battery Charging Circuit 
Float Charge 
The float voltage for the battery charging circuit is  
13.9 VDC at a maximum current of 1.4 A, less any 
devices connected to the control panel. If the float 
voltage drops below 13.8 VDC due to overload or 
battery discharge, the yellow Charging Status LED 
lights. 
Loss of AC Load Shed Relay protects battery: 
During an AC power loss, the battery supplies all 
power to the security system. If the battery voltage 
falls below 10.0 V during an AC power loss, a load 
shed relay isolates the battery from the control panel 
and disables the control panel. Load shed protects 
the battery from being damaged by deep discharge. 
When AC power restores, the load shed relay 
reconnects the charging circuit on the control panel to 
the battery and the battery begins to recharge. 
Overcharge Load Shed With AC Present: If more 
than 1.4 A of auxiliary current draw from the control 
panel occurs, the battery supplies the current and 
begins to discharge. If this situation is not corrected, 
the battery continues to discharge and at 11.8 VDC to  
12.0 VDC, the keypads display Serv Low Batt.  
When the battery voltage drops below 10.0 VDC, the 
control panel shuts down. Remove all loads to the 
control panel and disconnect AC power. Fix the 
condition creating the over current. Add a new battery 
and reconnect AC power. 
A shorted battery condition is created either by a 
shorted cell inside the battery or by a short on 
Terminals 4 and 5. A shorted battery might cause the 
control panel to operate in an unsafe way. This 
condition generates WATCHDOG RESET reports.
