Additional FiOS Voice Battery Backup for I-211-M-K

I understand that the battery backup for the phone lasts about 8 hours. That is not enough for a significant blackout. Can I order an additional battery backup unit?
I have the small desktop version of the ONT. The model is I-211-M-K. So I would need the battery backup unit that goes with this. Is this available to purchase? I don't see why it shouldn't be. If a customer wants more hours of backup time in case of an emergency, then we should be able to have it.
Thanks.

Good evening. You can call our battery replacement center at 877-503-3537 to get an additional batteries.

I don't have phone, but the TV says I need to replace battery backup for phone?!?!?!

Hello,
For three years, we've had Verizon Fios Internet and TV. We've never had a phone.
Today, the contraption Verizon plugged in the wall (sadly, I'm not really sure what it is, and had forgotten it existed until today as it's tucked behind some furniture) started beeping and the replace battery indicator light is on. Furthermore, when I turn on TV, I am greeted with this message:
My questions are:
(1) If I don't have phone service, why would I even have a battery backup (much less need to replace it) to allow phone service during power outages?
(2) Since I have only internet and TV, can I safely go without replacing this battery?
(3) If the answer to #2 is yes, then how do I get the thing in the wall to stop beeping every 30 minutes?
Thank you in advance to any responses.

You can unplug the battery in your optical network terminal (ONT) and the message needing to replace the battery will go away. Verizon customer service did confirm the battery is only for phone service when power is off.
I was only able to find 3 links on the alarm / battery backup. It looks like they never thought about people who did not want the phone feature and to silence the beeping with the battery removed?
I don't know how frequently my unit beeps, but I don't normally hear it because it is in my garage. I don't know if it has a pattern to when it beeps; but when I'm in the garage, I sometimes hear a single loud beep for about 1 second.
I imagine the battery must enable the laser to function when the power is off besides supply power to the copper phone lines in your house for a line powered phone. I would assume then that if one had a UPS to power the computer and router and a good battery in the BBU; then one could have an internet when the power is off too? Verizon user manuals don't mention this, so it might not work?

Best Battery Backup for iMac 27"?

Just received my new iMac 27" i7. I contacted Apple and they told me I don't really need a battery backup to protect the iMac but it's always a good idea. So I am looking for an inexpensive backup to just protect the iMac and give me a few minutes to shutdown. I have been reading about battery backups and from my understanding rating (va or watts) can be less than the iMac. The only real difference is that the time to successfully shut down will be shorter. Is this correct? The 27" has a 340 watt power supply so I could get a 240 watt backup and be fine if I only wanted to shut down wilthout damage the iMac?
Any suggestions on what to get? It's almost impossible to make an informed decision because of specifications like "pure sine wave output", "dirty backup power" and "constant voltage source". I am totally confused. Do I really need one at all?
Thank you

Do you need to hook up the USB cable
You don't have to, but if you don't, when the battery runs out, your Mac will crash.
If you connect the cable and set the preferences to shut it down after a certain period of time, or when there's a certain percentage of the battery left, etc., per the pink box in the link provided earlier, it will do a controlled powerdown.
and install the APC shut down software?
No, do not install that. It's been incompatible with Macs for several years.
Your Mac has the software already built-in.

What to do for getting a good battery backup for E...

I had brought the E6 after a convincing conversation at the Nokia Priority Partner shop and the executive there told me that E6 is a smartphone and also gives a good battery backup. Only on this condition I bought this new phone but to my misfortune this does not have a good battery backup. Everyday morning I need to charge my battery or the phone is dead. This is very much annoying as well as disappointing. I even suffered software issues with my E6. Thrice I needed to get its software reinstalled and even now having issues with the same. The priority centre only tells each time that you get the software reinstalled and your E6 will work fine. But I'm surprised that E6 only borrows my time to get it checked on the go.
No doubt this phone is one of the best which Nokia has ever brought, but, still if it could help me sort this issue then I would rank E6 to be the best in its class.

Which country did you buy your phone in?
There are many posts dealing with this issue and steps to be taken to increase battery life.
Some important ones are:
1. Switch off 3G if you do not need it.
2. Reduce the mail retrieval frequency if you have configured email accounts.
3. Switch off automatic WiFi scanning.
4. Reduce number of homescreens.
5. Close any background application that you do not need.
6. Switch to power saving mode when you do not actively use the phone for longer periods.

I need a good portable battery backup for my iphone5. Needs to be small and able to recharge the phone at least twice before it runs out of juice. Any suggestions?

I need a small portable battery charger for my iphone5. It seems to eat the battery quickly and there are times when I am away from a outlet to plug into. Like I said it needs to be small, and rugged, as it will be out in the boat or out in the woods while hunting

Bought the same SRW2048 thinking it should be a good upgrade for the unmanaged 10/100 switch, but within the first two weeks, I need RMA. Then the new switch is starting to have similar problem. Some are trying to blame some network packets causing the switch to reboot. I have a pretty simple default configuration (plug it in, assign IP and plug in workstations!)
Here's my laundry list:
- Time is off, never come back to the right one and SNTP never really works. When the switch reboots, I get back to the 00/00/00 and it's a pain to the time right.
- I see ports going online and offline and lots of them. I know there are nobody at the office, so it has got to be the switch.
We do not have any complex network set up, just one SRW2048 to a ~30 node s network. One one side is the clients and on the upside is a pix firewall.
It's so hard to setup each time the switch reboots, the whole office scramble and lost work.
If you guys have an answer to why ports go offline/online, etc... or why the switch does a cold start, please share.

Battery Backup APC vs. Belkin

Hello...
Can anyone advise which is better for a battery backup for my PowerMac G5 (APC vs. Belkin)?
Thanks!

My experiences with both Belkin and APC.
Get an APC.
The belkin I had had to be disassembled to change the battery that they did not have a battery for that model.
I bought an APC. I found that after a couple of system updates it did not shut down the computer. They worked with me for weeks on a solution and were very helpful. The battery that they sent me to help resolve the problem was an extremely easy plug and use type of thing.
We found out that it did not shut down as the supplied software was not compatible with the later Mac OS updates. The told me to uninstall power chute. It turns out it comflicted with the mac power saver shutdown option.
Do no install power chute for Macs. Use the native power option under energy saver in system preferences. Select setting for and pick the UPS option. Then there are three shutdown options to use. I use the first by checking it and selecting one minute.
You will need to use the USB cable that comes with the APC unit.
The battery level will also show up. The battery level drops very fast even thought it had plenty of minutes left on battery. I have gone over nine minutes with my RS 800 unit and it did not run out of power. I have onlt the computer and monitor on battery backup.
The level drops to zero in about one minute but this is bogus and it will go much longer on battery. I pull the plug and this is how I test the unit. I do not know if APC has noted this problem with the Mac in their APC UPS boxes. They will not undate their software as fast as apple. It is not needed use the Mac OS options and it should work OK.
I have no idea if Leopard has made any difference in the native power option.

Fios battery backup questions

I am wondering if the fios battery backup is okay with generator power. I have a generac whole house generator and I have one ups that is fine with it and a smaller one that does not like the power it puts out.
Wondering if the fios ups will work with it or keep going on and off house power during an outage.
Also, does the fios backup keep every fios service running? I realize the stb's need another power supply.

Does Verizon offer an option where they back up the internet service as well? It just seems silly to back up one UPS with another. It's hard to imagine that this option wouldn't be available for business customers.
No, the BBU is only intended for the phone system. The thought behind that was that if power went out, then your computers and TV's would not have power to run (not considering laptop batteries) so there would be no need for internet and video to work if the power was out. And with only having to power the phone, the power draw is low enough to make a battery feasible. If it had to power the internet and video as well, that battery would have a significantly lower life expantcy. And many areas of the country require the phone to work for a certain amount of time which is one of the reasons for the battery in the first place. Adding the other services to that list would lower the battery life enough to violate the reqirements for the phone to work. Hence, the bbu only powers the tv/internet for 5 minutes after the power goes out, then it drops the internet/video to save power for the phone.

Battery Backup light comes on for no apparent reason

Every so often the light on the battery backup unit (BBU) that indicates the unit is using battery power comes on even though there was no power failure and there is AC power to the unit. The first time this happened I called FIOS tech support and they indicated that if the light was on, the unit was operating off of battery power even if AC power was available, and that I would need to reset the unit. They then took me through the procedure for resetting the unit:
1) Open the case to the BBU.
2) Unplug the battery.
3) Unplug the AC power.
4) Wait at least 3 minutes.
5) Plug the battery back in.
6) Plug in the AC power.
This seems to do the trick and I assume it also resets the ONT.
I have 2 questions:
1) Why would the unit decide to operate off of battery power when there was AC power available and there had been no loss of AC power to begin with?
2) Is it true that if the battery light is on the unit is operating off of battery power even in the presence of AC power?
Any thoughts on these question would be appreciated.

Battery Backup Unit Nonsense. I'm not paying for your problems!

I may have to get rid of my service. These "Jackies" want me to pay $40 for a battery for THEIR battery backup unit that was installed in my apartment before I moved in over 2 years ago. I refuse to pay for your equipment's problems. This is ridiculous. Anyone else have this problem? Customer service sucks in this company.

I found it online at amazon for 12 bucks and shipping. 12 V 8 AH sealed lead acid battery with an f2 connector
I know you probably don't want to hear it's in the Terms of service, but it is.

Reliable battery pack for backup power?

I was looking at the Energizer brand battery pack for iPods, but I don't know if its "Touch" compatible since its not listed. Anyone have hands on experience with a good (safe) backup power device for the Touch? I have the 3g 64gb model.

Here is a link to one of these products on Amazon:

2.1 Battery Better (for most users)? & Apps Not Crashing, True? Worth it?

Does it really fix these things? And how can Apple claim it fixes the battery for (most) users, are there phones with different batteries and or hardware? And more important, are the Apps not crashing to the Apple logo? Calls not dropping, really?

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
First:
iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
6* Games consume a lot
Second: if not enough
7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
Third: Additional Optional tips
9* Wifi ask to join networks off
10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

Just a followup:
To summarize: I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
This screen shows
Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
Battery at 44%.
That would "multiply out" to
Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
Standby: over 34 hours
when the battery is fully used up.
I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.
