Why replace the battery in the main panel?

The OP wants the alarm to NOT to work.

On an old system with dead batteries all he need do is turn the mains to
it off. Obviously the OP doesn't have the engineer codes. Some folk are
just trying to make life hard here.

So simple.

No ladders, no ear defenders, no effort.

Brilliant.

If youre a gambling man. I do hope the OP lets us know how long the
sounder runs. ;-)

On a 1995 battery I'd be shocked if it ran at all

From the advice given here I am inclined to not attempt to disconnect
the system from the mains and the battery myself in case it goes off.

Just turn off the mains to it. Stand outside your house with the door open
looking sheepish if the bell box sounds on its own. It won't for long.

If it doesn't go off when you remove the mains, it says the panel battery
still has some charge.
