2GIG GC2 with TAKE kit not charging backup battery

About 6 months ago, I started having sensor “low battery” warnings on my hard wired sensors. After looking into it, I realized I might have a bad battery in my TAKE enclosure so I replaced it. All was fine for a month or so, then I started getting low battery messages again. I tried another battery but still get these messages after a month or so.

It appears the battery is not being charged by the TAKE control module. I haven’t changed any wiring since this was installed 6+ years ago and it looks like everything is wired up properly.

Is there something I should be looking for?

The TAKE-345 does not charge the battery, it requires a separate power supply/charging circuit. The device on the upper left in your image is the charging circuit, it has likely failed.

Replace with a Honeywell HPL624 or Altronix AL624 set to 12VDC output.

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ll try the AL624 and see if that resolves my issues.
