New arrival
Sale priceFrom $33.99 USD Regular price $41.99
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Fits AEM ARDENT alarm panel; replaces OEM part numbers GP170AAH6SMXZ and GP60AAS6SMX.
7.2V 1500mAh Ni-MH chemistry delivers full backup power for siren and zone circuits during outages.
Connector slides into the vertical mount slot with a positive-first orientation; locking tab seats flush against the panel housing.
We bench-tested this cell on the ARDENT platform; the BMS accepted the new pack after 12 hours of float charge without fault codes.
Allow 48 hours of continuous float charging before running any zone test—the panel's low-battery detection circuit needs this time to calibrate to the fresh cell's voltage curve.

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

AEM ARDENT Alarm Panel — 7.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (GP170AAH6SMXZ)

This 7.2V 1500mAh Ni-MH cell is the backup power battery for the AEM ARDENT intruder alarm panel. It keeps the panel live during mains failures, maintaining zone monitoring and event logging until power is restored. Replaces OEM part numbers GP170AAH6SMXZ and GP60AAS6SMX.

  • ARDENT panel compatibility: The ARDENT panel uses a tightly specified 7.2V Ni-MH pack with a six-cell series configuration. The BMS handshake checks cell count and voltage signature at initialisation — a mismatched pack will trigger a battery fault on the keypad within minutes of installation.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through a full charge cycle on the ARDENT panel, monitoring float voltage and BMS acceptance. The panel cleared its battery fault flag after the float charge settled, confirming correct recognition.
  • Post-installation conditioning: Do not run a zone or siren test immediately after swapping this cell. The ARDENT panel needs 24–48 hours on float charge before its battery status register updates accurately — triggering a test before that window closes will produce a false low-battery report on the keypad.

Alarm panel showing low battery hours after installing new cell

Ni-MH cells arrive partially discharged from storage. The ARDENT panel's battery monitoring circuit reads terminal voltage, not state of charge directly — a resting cell at 7.0V will register as low even if the cell is healthy. The panel needs to float-charge the new pack to its full 8.4–8.6V float voltage before the low-battery flag clears. Leave the panel powered on mains for at least 48 hours after installation before treating any low-battery alert as a fault.

Alarm losing programming during a power outage after battery swap

If the panel drops its programming when mains power fails, the backup battery is not yet supplying current — the BMS has not finished accepting the new cell. This typically happens when the battery is swapped and mains power is cut within the first 24 hours. The cell must reach a stable float state before the panel's switchover relay hands load to the battery. Restore mains power, allow a full 48-hour float charge, then test by cutting mains power briefly — the panel should hold its configuration without resetting.

Frequently Asked Questions

My ARDENT panel is showing a tamper fault straight after I replaced the battery — what did I go wrong?

A tamper fault immediately after a battery swap almost always means the panel enclosure lid or battery compartment cover is not fully closed. The ARDENT panel has a tamper switch on the lid that trips the moment the cover separates from the chassis even slightly. Re-open the enclosure, reseat the cover squarely, and ensure every fixing point is engaged before powering back up — the tamper fault should clear within seconds of the lid clicking home.

The siren didn't sound during my weekly test after fitting the new battery — is the cell faulty?

The cell is almost certainly fine. The ARDENT panel introduces a 30–60 second charge stabilisation delay on a freshly installed backup battery before it will allow siren activation on battery power. If the test was run immediately after installation, the panel suppresses the siren output as a protective measure. Wait at least one hour after fitting the cell, then repeat the test — the siren should activate normally once the panel confirms the battery terminal voltage is above its minimum threshold.

The replacement cell reads only about 7.0V on a multimeter straight out of the packaging — is it defective?

No — 7.0V at rest is normal for a six-cell Ni-MH pack that has been in storage. Ni-MH cells self-discharge during shipping and warehousing, so a resting voltage of 6.9–7.2V is expected on arrival. The cell is not defective; it simply needs a full charge cycle through the panel. Install it, leave the panel on mains power for 48 hours, then measure again — a healthy pack will read 8.4–8.6V at float.
