I am going to change my wireless burglar alarm to a wired one would I
be correct in thinking as most alarms are 12 volt I will not have to
fit a new alarm box on the house wall.

No, you don't have to change it but if you're new to alarm installation
you might find the wiring connection differences confusing between
different systems.

Heh heh - I reckon it's a maker's conspiracy. Different names for the same
thing, etc.

You mean the external sounder? Depends if it's wireless and how it is
wired if it's not wireless. If you'r putting a proper system in then
get a new SAB. Texecom Odyssey series are a good bet.

Don't fancy a wireless external sounder. Surely they should be pretty
inaccessible, so difficult to change the battery? And you'd need a fair
old battery to give a decently loud siren for 20 minutes?

The wanky pile of ****e known as a Response alarm system came with a
solar powered wireless external sounder.
If the OPs external siren came with some cheapo
Micromark\B&Q\Yale\Response alarm then I'd bin it whether it was wired
or not.

And how is the battery kept charged in a wireless system ?

Which one, there's loads of them!

Simple answer, you don't, that's why you have to change them all every
year.

Sorry. I meant the external one high up on the wall.
