dsc power 832 trouble, no back up power ???
I have a trouble light on. checked everything seems ok but if i unplug the ac the panel shuts off. The battery is holding 13.5v and with ac on it shows 16.5v. So im assuming its charging. I tried a new battery but samething. checked continuity on battery wires to board, ok.
Can any one offer any advice??

If you are reading 16.5 volts at the battery terminal under AC power, then the voltage regulator in the battery charger has failed. The only solution is replacing the motherboard. These units don't have fuses. They use a solid state device that has been known to fail if a transient passes through the power transformer.

great..........is there not a repair for this?? change a resistor or diode or something??? Everything else seems to work ok except for now theres no back up if the power goes out.
I really don't want to sit there and reprogram this all over again.

Nope. If you are giving me accurate information about the power at the battery terminals, then something in the power supply has given up the ghost. The only practical fix is replacing the motherboard.
