Anyone aware of a source of sealed lead-acid burglar alarm batteries at
sensible prices?


If you want a one off, a special offer powerful torch which uses an SLA
can often be cheaper than any replacement. Makes no sense, but these
things rarely do.


Beware, the batteries that come with those zillion candelpower torches
in the DIY sheds are utter rubbish.



Was thinking the same - I'd won't something better quality backing up
the alarm than the ****e in those torches. Anyway, as mentioned, the
torches are mostly 6V.

A nice Yuasa or Genesis is want you want for reliable backup.
