You'll end up completely killing it - you need to get a charger onto it to recharge the battery and the alarm's own battery. Early S1 had a master override under the dash; later S1 and S2 don't have it and the only solution is to keep the battery topped up or rip the fecker out.

Cheers,

On the alarm unit under the dash, mine had a rubber cover that was stuck fast. I would recommend ear defenders while attempting to turn it off....
