Battery Backup Failing
After the ice storms and outages my X10 Protector Plus security console battery low indicator came on (powered the unit for probably 4 total hours). When I replaced the 9v the light continued to be on. Looks like a wiring problem from the battery harness or else a surge fried the battery backup part of the unit. All other features appear functional.
Any ideas as to what I should look for? Anything I can do with a multimeter and the battery leads? I'm getting 9.5volts out of the battery, but I would have to "snap" the unit apart to check if the wires have come loose.
