Univ Power Group Replacement for WKA12-5F - 12 Volt 5 ah Battery

This is the same battery your alarm company will charge you $150 to swap out every three years or so. That is about the life of one of these. It seems the service call is $100 and the price for the battery is about $50. They walk in, swap out the battery by unplugging two wires off the old battery and plugging them on the new battery and fumble around trying to look like technicians for 10 minutes, call the office to see what's for lunch and " run the test " - collect the money and go on their way.Good battery, less than nothing to swap it out, save yourself $130 - BTW the battery place at many Malls ? About double this price, but they will take the old battery to recycle it.

I purchased this battery as a replacing battery for my ADT alarm system. This was the recommended replacement battery but it never seemed to work right after I installed it. Randomly it would die. My alarm keypad would beep signaling that the backup battery was dead. Inconveniently this would happen in the middle of the night. I would clear the code from the keypad and forget all about it. Until days later when it would do it again. Coming to realize that at some point it was somehow recharging or it as never actually dying. I moved from that house a few months later. So I don't know what the battery is doing now. In the sellers defense, I didn't contact them for replacement as I initially thought it was my alarm back up that was the issue. Once we realized it was not, we were moving and that took precendence over the battery

This is a battery back for a garage door opener and the only way I can truly rate this would be if the electric went out and I needed it due to a power failure. This hasn't happened.What I can say regarding this battery is that the previous backup battery I bought didn't require us to solder any pieces to the unit which my husband needed to do for this one. That is why I gave it four stars and not five.Regardless, the unit is no longer flashing the red light and is shows a steady green which indicates to me that it is operating.

Although the longevity is not known (just replaced old battery), this battery looks promising because as soon as it was hooked up to the central hub that runs door security and smoke alarms, the system was activated and hence now the operating system is up and running. The older battery (maybe ten years old) indicated "low-battery" on key pad, and so to sell a condo the smoke detector portion had to pass. Battery is reliable.

I bought this 12 Volt battery because the one in my alarm system finally died after about 6 years. This one appeared to almost be an exact replacement for the original. The connectors were the same as well as the specifications for the battery. If this one lasts as long as the original I will be a happy camper.

My alarm kept going off. Last time this happened I called the alarm company, they came out and replaced the battery. This time I took a chance and ordered the same battery online. I have not heard a peep out it since I put the new battery in. I have no idea how long it will last but so far so good.

Battery was an exact replacement. It was well packaged for delivery. Installation was less than a minute. The only issue was that the FedEx driver left the package out behind my garage in the hot sun and did not ring my doorbell or otherwise notify me the package had been delivered.

Priced right and the wiring connectors were the small size that was needed.
