Home Intruder alarm Battery replacement

Hi Everyone
i need to replace my backup home burglar alarm battery only after 2 years. i believe these usually should last about 5 years.

anyway my current one is on the link below which is a 12v 2.1Ah

PS1221 Power-Sonic From Battco, The Battery Company

it did not last so i want to go for something else. i found the below on Toolstation but its a 2.3Ah. link below

Sealed Lead Acid Battery

12V 2.3Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery

my questions is, will the 2.3Ah be ok to replace the current one which is 2.1Ah?

thank you

The size of the battery depends on make and model of control panel.
What alarm panel have you got.
Battery life is usually between 3-5 yrs.
What is the voltage output of the battery leads from panel,this can affect the life of battery.
Position of control panel can also reduce life of battery if panel is in loft, airing cupboard etc.

thank you for the reply. please see picture. my question though is will the 2.3Ah be a suitable replacement for the current 2.1Ah please?

Yes that's fine.
2.1-2.3ah is the only battery to fit your 9448.
Your battery charging voltage may be high this could by why you only replaced your existing battery 2 yrs ago.This is a common issue with that control panel.

What makes you think it’s the battery ? Have you dropped the power ( mains 240 supply ) to the alarm after fitting the new battery to check it takes over ok ?

Yes it takes over ok and panel reset with green light so hopefully no more internal alarms. Thank you
