can a 12 v 4 a/h security alarm battery be safely replaced by a 12v 7.5 a/h battery without adverse effects on system

Yes. Just make sure that the battery compartment is large enough. If there is a failure of your household electrical supply, the 7.5 a/h battery will provide backup power to your alarm system for a longer period of time than the 4 a/h battery. It takes less than five minutes to replace a defective battery - make sure that you dispose of the defective battery in accordance with local hazardous waste disposal requirements.

I ask a friend of mine (an IT person that installed his own security system), and was told that security system can generally use voltage within a few power ranges. However, it's always wise to use the power recommended by the manufacturer.

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 can only tell you that I placed the newly received battery in the alarm system which then indicated within a few minutes that there was no longer any problem with the backup battery. The previous battery had been in the system for 3 - 4 years.

Amigo, it's hard for anyone to answer your question with the information you have provided. In short, if your system requires a 12-volt battery with a capacity of 28 watts and 7.2 amp-hours you should be OK. The other thing to consider is the size of the battery and the compartment it needs to fit in. Just make sure it will fit before you buy it. I purchased this battery for a home security system and it works well. It also fits my Verizon Fios battery back-up system. I would buy it again. Good luck!

If you need an 8AH battery you shouldn't use a 7AH rated battery. Go to higher AH rated battery, but not a lower rated.

This is a 12V battery. If you put 4 of them in series you'd get 48 volts, but that's far from optimal.

look for the volts and amps should say something like 12v 5ah look at the battery you want to buy if connection post are same and volts and ah are same then you can use the battery as a replacement

Very sorry I cannot help you sir. I bought the battery for my home alarm system, so cannot relate to your problem. Good luck!

Yes, this part worked just fine in my adt alarm system with no problems. Excellent battery for the price andshipping is very fast..

Though they may physically interchange, as the voltage is not the same I would not use the incorrect battery as it could potentially damage the equipment.

This battery is by the numbers is .1ah larger than what you have, which simply means more run capacity. The voltage is the same so it should not be a problem.

Yes, the ADT battery is 12V, 5AH with F1 terminals, which is the same as the CA1240. Though the Ca1240 is listed at 4AH, it is rated at 5AH, which just means that it will run a little longer. Sort of like getting a baker's dozen for ordering a regular dozen. There might be some slight dimensional differences, but not enough to matter.

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

I used mine on a 4 unit - 6 volt battery bank in my RV. If they make a unit for 12 volt batteries I don't know. Contact the manufacturer

All RVs Alarms are wired using there 12 volt coach battery. If your RV battery is dead your LP safety Solenoid wont turn on any of the LP appliances. the MTI-742 is a 12 volt unit. Hope this helps

yes, the 1 amp difference should not matter - it will actually make the battery less likely to fail, as it will be able to recharge more efficiently. My old battery was 4 amp, and this 5 amp replacement works like a charm.

Mine read just at 12V when received so I didn't charge any more before installing in alarm system. It is working fine.
