I have a store, that we are closing for renovation. The electricity will be off for an extended period, but we would still like our alarm system (ADT Vista 10p) to protect the place. The backup battery is 12V 4AH. I would like to add (or replace) that with a larger capacity battery. It’s alright that it won’t fit in the case, and we will recharge the battery off-site. Can this replacement be done? Car batteries have much higher amp hour ratings, which I hope would give me the weeks of coverage I’d like.
