Good grief. It's charged to 13.5 volts



LOL! I don't think I have ever seen a battery, showing full charge, be

bad. It might not last long, but that is not the issue, here.



Exactly. And even if it is bad, you don't need to buy a new one,
as has been suggested to find out. Danny has a meter. If he hooks
it up and it still measures around 12V and the alarm doesn't power
up, it's *not* the battery. Also, if the alarm is totally screwed,
there is no sense in wasting money on a new battery. A new panel
typically comes with a battery included.
