Re: Powering ONT without BBU? said by jmr50:My BBU is toast due to the storm.

It's important to distinguish just what *is* toast. The battery or the BBU.
If you have AC power, you should be able to run with battery disconnected. If you do not have AC power, and the battery is toast, replace the battery.
If I were to replace the battery, I'd find one that is charged, fabricate a jumper from the battery wires in the BBU with clips to the replacement battery, then connect it up.
If the old battery gave its all to the ONT which shut down, and you connect a fresh battery, it won't start up automatically. You'll still need to restart the ONT by hitting Emergency Use button. That will run as long as the battery holds up.
Unless you can mod the signal wires, it will only run the phone service though. |

New York, NY | I restored power to the BBU. It runs for 2 seconds, then all lights go out. Beeping every few seconds from the BBU. Power reaches the ONT during those 2 seconds, but not the rest of the time. |

That is basically what mine is doing. I have AC power but the ONT won't power on, with or without the battery connected. The BBU isn't pasing 12VDC to the ONT, for some reason.
