DSC1832 battery problem, once main power disconnected, system off straight away.
Hi, I've bought a new DSC1832 panel and new battery. Connected everything and configured the zone, work as expected but one thing I couldn't figure out is the battery power for the panel. I've connected the battery to the panel, let it charge for 3 days, turn off the main power and the alarm system lost power immediately. I bought another new battery, charged for 3 days, cut off main power and the panel lost power immediately. The keypad display low battery error all the time (when main power connected) but I checked the battery voltage with multimeter, it is fully charged. May I know what is the problem here? Is it any configuration that I missed out or is it a faulty panel?

Almost certainly a faulty panel. Older panels had fuse for the battery connection, but these new ones have a solid state component that sometimes fails (not common, but it happens).
But no, there's no software configuration for this. The battery switchover is all hardware/firmware.
