New house, confused by the security system

I’ve been in this house for a year and I still haven’t figured out the security system and I’d appreciate if anybody could help me understand the components.

  1. Best I’ve been able to figure out, the previous owner did business with ADT and had this system installed. I have a security system with a “2GIG Go” console. It has an internal battery that seems to be on its last legs https://i.imgur.com/LeyFCtp.jpg
  2. The console is presumably wired to this box near the electrical panel containing an old battery that is due to be replaced and a “DPS Technologies LS1” thing that appears to be a battery charger and maybe delivers power to other devices. It’s lit red and I’m not sure what it means. The system started freaking out in the middle of the night and I had to disconnect the battery. I notice that there are 3 loose wires (1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow) https://i.imgur.com/6WVM4WA.jpg
  3. I also have a few 2GIG SMKT3-345 units linked to the system and I’ve had to change a few batteries.
  4. It’s wired to a few doors and windows.
  5. There’s this thing near the battery panel. I don’t know how it works but would I assume this is where the whole system sources its power. https://i.imgur.com/X1ZMOlG.jpg

So as a homeowner, how do I go about maintaining this system? Do I get a new 12v 7a battery as well as a new battery for the console like this one? https://www.amazon.ca/Replacement-6MR2000AAY4Z-2GIG-CNTRL2-10-000013-001-PERS-4200/dp/B0BLGG46YH/ref=sr_1_4?hvadid=604713582908&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9000639&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=9916546377054386540&hvtargid=kwd-567454508793&hydadcr=25171_13540616&keywords=10-000013-001&qid=1698778831&sr=8-4

Is there anything else I should know?

Any idea what the disconnected wires could be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
