For some reason when I had my eMTA switched last monday they put in the smallest battery available for the Arris TM722G.. When you get sent a SIK they give you a BPB044S battery, which is a larger capacity battery (4.4 AH 4 cell battery)..
The one they gave me was a 2.2 AH 2 cell battery (about 3-4hrs runtime)
Is there any way to get a larger battery like the one that they give you with the SIK's?
reply to neufuse I feel that a uninterruptable power supply would help in this situation as well as allow your data modem and router to continue to function during extended outages.
reply to neufuse Considering that is about how long the node's power supply(s) last, I don't think there would be much more reason to have a longer battery. Get a UPS and keep everything going for a couple hours and call it a day. Some systems deploy generators, some systems are too big to be able to do that everywhere. -- Ex-Tech at the Beach.
