The NX™ 2.3-12 battery is also suitable for non-intensive, low current cyclic use. We recommend the NX™ Cyclic range for more intensive cyclic use.

The valve regulated design of this battery is equipped with a safe low-pressure venting system, which releases excess gases and automatically reseals should there be a build-up of gas within the battery due to overcharging. And if you have the R8 (i.e. the Veritas with a remote keypad) then you have 2 options, either the 3.4ah or the bigger 7ah. We’d generally recommend the 3.4ah, as it’s guaranteed to fit. BUY 3.4ah BATTERY HERE >> AGM batteries are preferred when a larger number of amps are required. The life expectancy remains excellent in most cases if they are not discharged more than 60% between recharges and/or recharged fully every 3-6 months. As part of our ISO 9001 quality procedure, quality control tests are frequently carried out on all our products. For the Veritas 8, we’d recommend buying the 3.4ah battery (the mid-sized option).

We receive data from battery manufacturers and this may be subject to change and / or manufacturing tolerances. If you’ve got a Compact 8 (i.e. the smallest Veritas alarm) you should buy the smallest battery – i.e. the 2.1ah battery. BUY 2.1ah BATTERY HERE >> If you have a problem with your alarm battery and want to change your Veritas alarm battery (Compact, V8 or R8), the good news is that it’s a relatively simple thing to do – that is if you have the correct engineering codes and you have the confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity.

The reason I say ‘confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity’ is that as with most alarm panels, the inside of an alarm panel can be a spaghetti soup of wires - wires connected to both 12V circuits and also 240V, and obviously you don’t want to make any errors in this type of scenario as you’ll either If you don’t know how much space is inside, our recommendation would be to go for the 3.4ah battery- as this is the most flexible battery option.

If you’ve got the 2 main elements above (i.e. engineering codes and a new Veritas alarm battery) then all you need to do is: Changing a battery in a Texecom Veritas R8 alarm panel is relatively simple - that is if you have the correct engineering codes and you have the confidence to deal with both electronics and electricity. a) the right engineering codes (which will give you access to opening the alarm panel without setting off a tamper) The NP battery series uses a unique electrolyte suspension system incorporating a microfine glass mat (AGM) to retain the maximum amount of electrolyte in the cells. The final factor to consideris to make sure you don't buy cheap / counterfeit batteries- as these may cause a fire danger to your property. Only buy from a reputable vendor. What battery does my Veritas alarm use?

The Yuasa NP series of battery set the standard for quality and excellence in the field of rechargeable lead acid batteries. The high-quality battery ensures that no electrolyte leakages occurs from the case or terminals. This battery is almost maintenance free with the perfectly sealed construction and the recombination of gases within the cell. N.B. before you change the battery, you need to identify whether the battery in your panel is a 2.1ah battery or 7ah battery. We’d generally recommend using the 7ah battery – as this lasts longer in a power cut scenario – however it depends on the amount of space available inside your alarm panel. We can advise on who to identify the type of battery via our remote telephone service ( find out more here >>)That said, if you have a certain level of competence around electrics then you should be able to work out what to do. Again, that is heavily dependent on you having Commonly used in Alarm Systems, Emergency Lighting, Torches, UPS systems and other electrical systems If you have Compact 8 then the best battery is the 2.1ah battery as this should definitely fit into the panel (as the Compact 8 is the smallest of the Veritas alarm range) BUY 2.1ah battery HERE >> If you don’t know what it is, then the safest option is to go for then here’s a guide below – the basic premise being that different versions of the Veritas alarm has different amounts of space inside the panel, so you need to choose the right battery for your specific version of the Veritas alarm.
