Control panel TRBL displays say hall & living room sensor battery charges low but they are not. A reliable battery tester indicates that the battery charges are very good. Apart from disarming the beeping system for 4 hours is there anything else I can do, please?

If the Visonic PowerMaxExpress control panel shows a low battery warning but the battery is actually good, try the following steps:
1. Reset the System – Disarm the system and power cycle the control panel by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source. 2. Check Battery Contacts – Ensure the battery is properly connected and the terminals are clean. 3. Verify Battery Voltage – Use a multimeter to confirm the battery voltage is within the acceptable range. 4. Clear Status Messages – Navigate through the menu to review and clear any status messages related to the battery. 5. Replace the Battery (if needed) – Even if the battery appears good, replacing it with a new one may resolve the issue. 6. Check Wireless Sensors – If the issue is related to a wireless sensor, replace its battery and ensure it is communicating properly with the control panel.
If the issue persists, refer to the user manual for additional troubleshooting or contact technical support.
