said by MovieLover76:I think it's a good thing for the customer that they are going to start monitoring battery health and informing users when they need to replace their batteries. From reading it, it seems like the first battery may come with the unit and your responsible for replacements, which seems fair.
It's been awhile since I had cable, but my FiOS connection stays up when the power's out, even the network connection itself stays up as my router is on a UPS. It would be nice if FiOS monitored the battery health of the battery, no way to know it's condition currently and I live in an apartment that already had an existing FiOS installation, so theirs no telling how old that battery is.
It's a nice gesture but I can already monitor my battery for free by going to 192.168.100.1, it tells me the percentage left, the telemotry of the battery, and best of all, I can do it anytime I want and see it all visually.
