I don't think this impacts the need for batteries. The goal of battery<br>
backup is to stay online when the normal power system goes out. This<br>
can happen with utility power or local generator. The batteries should<br>
last longer than the typical time to restore power after an outage. If<br>
we think it might take a few days to get a generator mechanic on site,<br>
that should be our target for battery runtime.<br>
