Default Alarm trigers while starting

Just a bit of info
Earlier on in the year occasionally the alarm set off while starting the car (when cold outside)
Finaly got my arse in gear to investigate.
I tested the battery to find it weak, but still no problem starting.
On testing i did find that when cold while cranking the engine the voltage dropped to 0 volts.
Easy fix, replace battery (only £46 from dealers) No problems now.
Checked new battery up to 600CCA and still faires well.

I had the same thing from mine. I closed my eyes very tightly and wished that all the bad noises would go away. That seemed to work too. Although now I know the real solution when it happens again
