I heard a beeping in my basement. Investigating where it came from, I found the Battery Backup Unit on the wall with a red light on and marked replace battery. I called Verizon support and spoke to an associate, who told me it was my responsibility to repace it. A battery would cost $29.95 or $39.95 and the battery is used for phone service only if power was to be lost. I told him it is Verizon property, I didn't buy it, and Verizon should replace it. Surprise surprise, he had no answer to that. So I decided to just disconnect it seeing as how it was for phone service only and only lasted for 8 hours.
