[TenTec] Paragon Questions - My first

[Mike]

I quoted directly from the Ten-Tec hand book.  It follows:

"An alkaline battery will provide approximately 150 hours of backup power if 
power is removed, otherwise the battery will last for its shelf life."

"When using a 9 volt Ni-Cad battery, the power should be turned on at least 
3 to 4 hours per week to keep the battery trickle charged."  I keep the PSU 
on all the time as previously explained.
