I'm a little bit confused about the ELK-M1G bundle sold here:
http://www.automatedoutlet.com/product.php...=376&page=1
or here:
http://www.smarthome.com/128301i.html
Which battery is included in this bundle? It doesn't appear to be shown in the pictures, but it does say a battery is included. The other Elk bundles show a big black battery. Is it the same battery? Or is it some weaker model? Should I be buying a separate battery?
And do I need this?
Elk-P624 - 6 , 12 , or 24 Volt DC Power Supply & Battery Charger

Since I'm going to be buying several other modules, would it be better to just go ahead and buy the ELK-SWB28 28" can and ignore the 14" can, or should I buy the base M1GSYS4 and all the stuff that's in the Insteon bundle separately? Here's what I think I will be buying so far:
INSTEON-Compatible M1 Gold System w/Flush-Mount Keypad
ELK-M1XEP - M1 Ethernet Port Interface
ELK Outdoor Horn Siren 120db
Elk Strobe Light, Clear
Wall Mount Kit For Elk Strobe Light
ELK-M1XEP - M1 Ethernet Port Interface
ELK-M1DBH - Data Bus Hub (Optional)
ELK-M1ZTS - Zone Temp Sensor
ELK-M1BBK2 - Recess Mount Back Box Kit for M1-KP2
ELK-M1TWK - M1 Two Way Listen-in KIT
38Stubby-10 - 3/8" Magnetic Stubby Reed Switch - 10 Pack
PS-2023 - Garage Door Magnetic Contact Sensor - Normally Closed
FSA410BST - FSA410 DSC Smoke Sensor, 4-Wire Photoelectric, Thermal & Sounder
K9-85 85lb Pet-Immune Hardwired Motion Sensor x4
ELK-M1KPAS - M1 Arming Station
ELK-M1XIN - M1 16 Zone Input Expander
Other stuff that I might buy:
Round Acoustic Glass Break, 25' Radius
GRI-2800 - Water Sensor
Sentrol 240-COE Hardwire Carbon Monoxide Detector
ELK-M1TWS - M1 Two Way Speaker/Microphone
Other questions:
Anybody know if the Visonic K9-85 PIR is any good? Smarthome lists it for $59 and states that it's dual-technology w/microwave, but Automated Outlet lists the same part number but makes no mention of it having dual-technology. And Automated Outlet has it for less than half the price. Not sure if it's the same product or not, even though the part number appears to be the same.
Do I need to get an EOL relay for the 4-wire smoke detectors above?
Thanks in advance for the help.
