I woke up to my ADT security system beeping repeatedly in the middle of the night. The control panel displayed a “low battery” warning, but I’m unsure if I need to replace the battery myself or if the system will recharge it. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? What steps should I take to resolve it and stop the beeping?
The beeping from your ADT security system is due to the low battery in the control panel. Typically, the backup battery needs to be replaced, not recharged, especially if it’s several years old. You can either replace the battery yourself (usually a 12V lead-acid battery) or contact ADT for assistance. To stop the beeping temporarily, you can acknowledge the low battery warning by pressing the OFF or DISARM button on the panel. However, replacing the battery will fully resolve the issue and prevent future beeping.
