The backup battery is tied separately to the security system in case your battery terminals are disconnected the alarm system with still sound.

Nope, backup siren is incase they cut the wires to your primary siren, backup battery is in case they cut the battery power to disable the alarm. If the siren is hard to reach, you will be fine. What many do is pop the hood and cut the power to the battery. I myself just have the backup battery

I didn't purchase the backup siren. It's really just if someone disables your initial siren

Do you HAVE to? No. If you want to mount a secondary siren in a hidden location, you can do so. Studies show people don't pay attention to car alarms though. It's the page to your remote that should serve as security.

No, The battery back-up takes the place of your battery ,if it goes dead or someone tries to disconnect it. Your security car system will still have the power it needs to protect your car.

I purchased mine from amazon, I haven't got the thing running yet, although the battery is charged up. I had an issue with amazon over this kit.

No, there is no battery back up. Even still, it's a great unit, and we've had no problems with it.

I have found that the backup on the control panel is nothing close to 72 hours, but more likely 4-6 hours (without an external siren further draining it). I would recommend plugging both the control panel and wireless siren into a UPS with greater capacity. As stated by others, it is also better to hide the main panel and use an accessory keypad or the remotes to activate/deactivate the alarm (vs. keeping the main panel in plain view of the entryway).

Bonnie, I can tell you that I ran this unit during a power outage that lasted over 12 hours and my neighbors did not even know it was running.It was not until they saw me plugging more things into it, that they asked me if I could run some of thier household appliances.Yes, the battery will charge on it's own when it's running.If you are not going to run this generator for long periods of time I would suggest that you purchase a "trickle Charger" for about $12;00 @ any Harbor Fright store or a Home depot etc...I hope this helps-I love my generator and i'm sure you will love yours should you decide to buy one.Good luck!

The siren is plenty loud to alert you from your sleep. It's high pitch and piercing. I don't think theres a battery in the siren, it plugs into the wall. There is a battery either AA or AAA in the unit itself for when the electricity goes down to keep the unit running. The only problem I've had is the two way tape on the door mounts is not all that good. The kit comes with screws for wood. I cut Velcro into small streps and it works good, has not fallen off the doors and walls.

I am sorry, Douglas, but it has been over a year since we purchased this. I can't remember a back-up battery.

Yes, I bought mine with the same intentions. I have a ADT system that came stock with internal siren only. You'll just have to take your electric meter out and find which connections are hot when the internal alarm is sounding. Once you find that connection just hook the new ademco siren in with it. FYI, ademco only needs power to sound off....

No battery backup built in but it uses the battery from the the alarm system. It has retained my zwave configurations after being disconnected. Most of the alarm programming is retained on your alarm system. IP address and such is usually DHCP.

Hi there fellow "alarmist"! My siren has three leads: White, Red, and Yellow. White is negative. If yours has a Black wire instead, it's negative. Red to Positive makes the Siren YELP. If you connect Yellow to Positive, the sound is Steady! That's all there is to it... It operates on 12 VDC.Have fun, Walley Bendz

All of those items has to be purchased except the back up battery. The GSMVLP and the 7847i are two separate items that are not included

First off, the intruder would have to know where your control panel is to unplug it. The siren is VERY loud and if it goes off, it is a huge deterrent. As soon as the system is set off, the text is sent to you that it has gone off. If they do find the panel and unplug it, it has a battery backup so it still should keep sounding. Hope that helps.

No backup battery inside unit. But.it.is.powered through the backup battery on.the alarm system.control board. Bit even.if that fails, no need to.reprogram Everything. Just basic time and date.

You shouldn't have to have a backup battery. These batteries last a long time. And you only need one if you have the phone service

I don't think our car (bought at the end of 2012) has a siren. Or, maybe our siren doesn't work. The lights flash though.

Not laughing. You sound like me and MOST of us. Yes it is indeed for three batteries. I have twin engines, and have the third set capped. If I want to charge a 'back up' battery, well you get the picture...
