Can you be a little more specific where the noise is coming from? Is it by your circuit breaker panel? By the way, a "short" rarely happens, and if not protected by a circuit breaker or fuse, could result in a fire. I doubt it's a short circuit. More likely, you have a very low battery and one of your alarms is making noise. That would also explain why your lights aren't working.
that is odd because i have a solar panel which should be keeping the battery topped up and its also plugged into power which should charge the batteries. sorry i cant check where the noise is coming from right now, but it does sound like an alarm. ideas as to why the batteries wouldnt be charging? hope i havent killed them!
Maybe, the battery has a dry cell/s. This can cause internal short in the battery, and, it won't hold a charge, if shorted. Have battery tested.
Check electrolyte level (might be too late) in battery cells. If they are low, add distilled water and try charging with a battery charger.
Your converter and solar panel won't give it the proper charge, especially in the limited time you have.
