In answer to all of the above, you simply cut a fuse holder into the
positive leg of the battery lead of the control panel and power the
device from that. Use two 7.5 Ah batteries if you feel there's going
to be a problem with frequent power failures. Be diligent in changing
batteries every few years. ie, set up a reminder in your billing
program and drop ship the battery to the client every 3 years.

(SIGH) You have to constantly be reminded that it's not rokus smience.
Uhhh, romus suquence. Whatever.
