HKC 1070 battery fuse fault after attempting battery replacement

bren4q

The HKC 1070 alarm in my parents house reported a battery panel fault recently. I fitted a new 3.2Ah battery (the old one was 7Ah) being wary of connecting black to black and red to red. The alarm then reported a 'battery fuse fault' as well as the original battery panel fault. I took a photo of the panel, disconnected the new battery and called it a night.

After checking the photo, to my great shame, I had connected it with the wrong polarity. Assuming the new 3.2Ah battery is ok to continue using, is there a battery fuse that I need to replace? I cannot see anything obvious in the panel that could be one. I looked up the service manual and it mentions some 'resettable fuses'.

Should the battery fuse automatically reset and work once I reconnect the new battery with the correct polarity, or is there one that might need to be replaced?

You could try a full down power, remove mains with battery disconnected.

Then power the system on the battery and see if it resets the fuse.

If not you will need to replace the PCB on the alarm.

That all worked out thankfully. Mains off, new battery connected (correctly this time!), mains on, and both faults for battery and battery fuse were gone. I got off lucky. Thanks for your advice.

No problem at all, glad you got it sorted
