[TenTec] Paragon Questions - My first

[Chas Nagel]

Again, my Paragon came from Ten-Tec some months back with a warning label by the 9 volt battery holder. It warned against using alkaline batteries due to leakage. In my opinion only a rechargeable battery should be used following the instructions for installation in the manual.

  I quoted directly from the Ten-Tec hand book. It follows:

"An alkaline battery will provide approximately 150 hours of backup power if 
power is removed, otherwise the battery will last for its shelf life."

"When using a 9 volt Ni-Cad battery, the power should be turned on at least 
3 to 4 hours per week to keep the battery trickle charged." I keep the PSU 
on all the time as previously explained.
