I will be having work done to the mains power supply to my property, I will have no mains power for up to 48 hours. My first question is - how long will the backup battery keep my Comfort 2 Ultra going without mains power. EDIT - I worked this out from a table I found, not long enough! My second question; I have a Reson8 bell box. If there is no power to Comfort and I disconnect the battery the siren goes off as it has an independent battery. Is there an easy way (not having to get my ladders out and climb up to the bell box) to stop this happening?
Cheers

It depends on what is connected to your comfort. I don't think the battery would last 48 hours. You could connect 2 more batteries in parallel, which could keep it powered for 2 days. That would solve the problem for the siren as well. Or you could power down the comfort and just use the battery to keep the siren powered up

Thank youI assume it doesn't matter what battery it is, I have a spare 12v car battery I could hook up.

I think that should work, and last very long
