That's a pretty standard SLA battery. I got mine on eBay. I don't remember from whom but I probably shopped by top-rated seller and closest to NY. No issues since replacement two years ago. I have a small 2000w Generac generator that I use during longer power failures for "infrastructure" stuff like the FiOS box, routers, and charging my electronics. Sandy lesson unfortunately. I also have a massive 12kw portable one that I have not used (thankfully) that can power half of my house if I need. Rich Sent from my iPhone

So I heard this beeping about every 30 minutes or so. I thought it was a watch. My sister heard it too and didn't tell me so I was going nuts trying to find it. It turns out that it was the replacement battery light on our FIOS box. This is the battery backup in case power fails and lasts about 8 hours. It didn't help with Sandy because the power was out for 8 days.
So anyway I need to replace it. It is 12V 7.2 Ah. The one that Verizon sells is 12V 8Ah: https://www.verizon.com/home/accessories/fios-voice-backup-battery/?&skuPara... .
I figure that I can get a cheaper or better one (longer lasting). Before I start searching eBay, Google search are there any recommendations or warnings?
Thanks!
