Hi we have finally got the van out and about,  had it on EHU but the alarm didn't get any power in it. So either it needs a new battery or it will need a charger unit ( didn't get one with the  van but  the alarm has the charging socket on the front )

So as we don't know if it works yet and the battery and charger are £34.95 each  

is there any generic batteries and chargers that would be suitable at much less cost to find out if the system works. 

How did the alarm charge up before?

This is garys post from another forum.

The battery should last around 7months on a full charge. If its been allowed to fully discharge it may well be deceased, the charger is similar to some phone chargers (I know as my van had that system) although I had the correct CEC charger 

If you replace the 12v battery, remember the alarm code will default back to the factory settings. Have a ring round to see if you can source it cheaper or get a re-con.
