Hi Folks,
This alarm was fitted to my new Swift Challenger SE when new in 2014 and has been fine up to now, but upon investigating a beeping noise and looking in my handbook, I think the back up battery in the alarm needs replacing so I contacted Sargent Alarms and asked about a replacement.
I was advised I needed a new back up battery at a cost of £44.99 !!
This seemed a lot so I said I would "have a think" and looked online at the said battery, it is nothing more than two AA sized rechargeable batteries taped together and wired to plug into the alarm unit and find the price to be rather a lot for what you get, ie "rip off Brittan" again!!
My question to you all is, has anyone had the same problem and if so how did you sort it out, or do I have to bite the bullet and spend the money??
Kind Regards.
Paul.
