Suppose it is installed in a system with constant mains power. You don't need to worry about charging the battery because the device takes care of this. However, if it is fitted in a portable or other application not plugged in twenty-four-seven, try to keep the battery from running down too far between recharges. The more charge you can maintain in it, the longer overall life you can obtain from the battery. When the battery is discharged, whether partially or fully, the damage is done, so please bear that in mind for future use.
The battery is valve-regulated lead-acid type, and it also benefits from being AGM or absorbed glass mat technology. These typically last many years in an alarm system.

For the small cost involved, it may be wise to diary the new installation and change it in three years regardless or at least check the voltage. In the fully charged state, it will be over 12.7v.
