Automated repeater station's--alarms--

[mainetrunk]

I have recently come across a HILL that announces -lo- battery and temp alarm..
I -know- this is a new site,
but why would it be throwing alarms everyday?
How does a battery go low, if it is running on A-C current?

Power failure caused the battery to drain below the alarm voltage threshold. When the power came back on, the charging circut didnt come back with it, or its not charging due to high ambiant temp (which would explain the second alarm)

Thank you sir--
if it means anything, it is an analog station.
