So on the weekend I decided to go and let my 1998 V8 holden statesman run for a while as I don't use it anymore and it just sits in the driveway. well it was dead flat so I put a ctek charger on it and let it charge all weekend, now on sunday morning I was woken up by the statos alarm going off at 6:30am so I ran out and checked if someone was breaking in and no-one was there, so I unlocked the car with the key-remote-button and the alarm stopped then I locked it again and the alarm started going off again. so I unlocked and then locked it with the key from the drivers door. I am just unsure why it went off and also the battery is showing it's still only half charged (according to the battery charger)

it's a Orbital d34 (blue dry cell battery) i'd had a good run out of it as it's about 7-8 years old now.

maybe the alarm has a fail-safe, as in where if the main battery is disconnected, an aux battery powers the alarm. The battery falling below required voltage would trigger the fail-safe.

Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.

tis the factory alarm that comes with the car... drove it around the other day with the old battery still in there... now it seems I need to re-learn my break lights as the battery went dead flat and i'm getting a break light failure light on my dash everytime I break. cant wait til the new battery gets here. i'm really hopeing that's all that's wrong with it.
