Honeywell LCP500-24B
Lyric Controller 24-Hour Battery
Description
The Honeywell LCP500-24B is a 24 hour backup battery for the Lyric Controller. The Lyric is a robust touchscreen display keypad that can draw a good amount of power. It is equipped with a standard 4 hour battery out of the box. The included battery is rated at 1100mAh while the LCP500-24B pushes out 3700mAh. They are both 7.2 volt DC batteries. The LCP500-24B is a must have for any Lyric owners that experience sustained power outages. The 4 hour battery is good enough for short blackouts or even brownouts. The 24 hour backup is needed for longer blackouts and offers much greater peace of mind. This extra battery life can be the difference of dispatching the police on an alarm and being completely unprotected.
The beauty of a backup battery is the ability for the Lyric to send out trouble signals when the power is lost. AC loss and low battery troubles are generated during the power outage. Central station phone calls can be handy. For those looking for multiple notifications you can setup text, email and push alerts through the Total Connect 2.0 platform. This is an interactive app that will send out real time alerts when these types of conditions occur. The flexibility for the app to send alerts to multiple people at once makes these situations more manageable and prevents any unpleasant surprises.
