I opened the control panel and there is indeed a big battery (Exaltor
12V5AH). On the battery itself, it's
written that it should be changed every 3-5 years.
We certainly never did it (for a good 6 years at least).

Touching it, the battery itself felt kind of warm...actually even
Hot...is this normal or another sign that its life is over ?

What would be the symptom of a dead battery ? Is the alarm bell
powered by this battery or by the house electrical circuit ?
