you did not mention checking it with a multimeter, you need to check (without the battery connected) that there is voltage on the battery leads or not. there should be around 12.8 to 13.0 vdc and higher when charging. also check to see if the battery fuse is ok, if there is good voltage there, a new battery with 12 vdc already, battery fuse is ok and low batt fault is still on, try fully arming the system (wait the entie exit delay time) and then disarming, or compeletly down powering (check that the reset jumper is off) and then powering back up with battery and mains.
: I have a DSC PC3000 and the battery trouble light is on and the battery is not getting charged. I check the voltage to the battery and it is low. I bought a new battery and same thing. System works fine as long as I have have power, but still does not charge the battery.
: Is this repairable?
