Just got back from a week's holiday to find the 93's battery was completely flat - no lights, no clicking noises, no central locking response from the alarm fob etc. So I got the Ctek out to bring the battery back to life, which then brought the alarm back to life (slowly) - the chirping of the alarm got more and more frequent as the battery received the charge, but the alarm wouldn't shut off using the fob (either fob in fact). Eventually it did shut up.
So two questions:
1. does the PA1000 just go into spasms if the battery (and its own back up) has gone dead? Presume it will reset when all charged?
2. I've just had a second hand Becker Traffic Pro fitted - is it coincidence or could it have been wired to cause a constant/permanent drain on the battery? Sound and lights on the unit definitely shut off as normal when the ignition is turned off.
