Although ADT security systems run primarily on a home’s AC electricity, they also have a backup DC battery that is designed to provide power in the event of a blackout. Even if the battery is never used, the charge slowly drains over time, and eventually, it will lose all functionality. Fortunately, these batteries can usually be replaced without having to call a technician.
Before Replacing the Battery
Always handle the batteries with care. Improper use or handling of the battery may cause an acid leak, electrical discharge or explosion resulting in serious injury. Any tools used in conjunction with the removal or installation of the battery should be insulated, and both the old and new batteries should be checked for cracks or other anomalies.
Before removing the old battery, it is necessary to call ADT so that an operator can remotely set the system to test mode. This will allow the job to be completed without accidentally activating the alarm.
