sort of a silly question. im replacing the backup battery for my vista 10se. installed battery is a 12v 4ah. can i / should i replace the battery with a larger capacity (ie a 7ah or a for that matter, maybe a 14ah? I have some extra space in the box - is space capacity the only constraint? thanks

btw, I dont need to power it down to replace it do i?

The 10se will support up to about a 12ah battery, so the physical space is the main constraint.

No need to power down. Unplug old battery, install plugs on new battery, close case. It may take an over night cycle before the system runs battery test again and clears the indicator.
