Default Re: How To : Replace the batteries in the alarm module

I have tried a few of the other china 'green' rechargeable batteries, not getting any good service out of them, they self discharge fast. I seem to recall if you take the positive battery post off before the negative, does/should the alarm sound? I cannot remember if this causes the alarm to sound as if someone cuts the battery cable to steal the car or battery? Anyway, just wondering if the batteries are working, they are pretty inexpensive (but) if they are not of any quality, will they work (or last)?
I have not tested it as I cannot be bothered to take the cowl off. How good are these batteries? I don't know but when it came to me the voltage was 3.68 volts.
