I learned a long time ago not to give my father-in-law advice if it is not asked for. Long stories, not worth retelling.

Tell him not to insulate the battery from the floor. For some reason car batteries discharge if you put a car battery directly on concrete. On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 5:52 PM, Rev.

My father in law has a car battery backup for his Sump pump due to a disaster a number of ears ago. During a torrential downpour (extended) the power went out for 24 hours. They ended up with 6 inches in their basement. So he keeps a warning buzzer on the pump plus a back system to power the pump. Stewart At 04:20 PM 3/18/2008, you wrote: That is a great idea. I would be far less resistant to getting FiOS if I didn't have to worry about the battery. Overall I think this is a major aspect of the service that I think they failed to think through. Maybe the gubment ought to get on their tails, like they tried to go after the cell providers over 911 service. Heck, I don't even use batteries to backup my sump pump because it won't be there when I need it most. My backup is a water-powered siphon. Can I get a water wheel to power my FiOS? Rev. Stewart A.

I would be far less resistant to getting FiOS if I didn't have to worry about the battery. Overall I think this is a major aspect of the service that I think they failed to think through. Maybe the gubment ought to get on their tails, like they tried to go after the cell providers over 911 service. Heck, I don't even use batteries to backup my sump pump because it won't be there when I need it most. My backup is a water-powered siphon.
