Can this use a backup battery? If so where do they go? Inside the unit or externally by purchasing a battery pack box and mount it close by?

I bought a 1500 ups back up and mounted it in a plastic marine battery case and slide it underneath the unit. or you can maybe enclose the bottom??? but it will have to be EXTERNAL

For the six months mine actually worked it could be mounted anyway you want. I am looking into replacing it as I have a cheap one on my battery pack now. This one really worked well to keep the pack fully charged. Won't be buying another one of these though.

It takes v-mount batteries. These can be a bit expensive. What I do is use a UPS. I was able to get a couple of free ones, and they last for 2-3 hours powering this light.

it is not mounted on battery. you can mount this anywhere in the car and wired to the battery. or on the car and wired to battery.

Ours is powered by adapter. I do not remember seeing a battery compartment or directions advising us of that options. It is behind our mounted tv or I would look to confirm.

Excuse me? Even in your complaint, it's listed as an External Battery Pack for 1500VA Back-UPS. The photo of it shows no outlets that would be necessary for a UPS unit. Amazon does carry the UPS. I purchased one in September 2011 & they are still selling them. The VA rating gives you the amount of power that the UPS can provide when the power goes out, but in and of ittself doesn't say how long it will provide that power. The external battery pack increases that time substantially.

No battery backup. Instructions say battery not needed and settings are saved in memory. Unit works great for me. I love that it's really easy to program and use

No it doesn't have a battery backup It connect to the RV (12v ) system, I hope I would never need a backup for that system. This LP detector is MUCH better than the OEM detector. I bought my motor home 12 years ago and had three LP detectors in it before I bought this one. The others 'died' after two to three years. I have had this one for more than 4 years and it is still going strong.

Charge the Newtrent battery separately (as a person not connected with the company, I carry this unit as a back up only).For technical questions, you should contact the company directly. <www.newtrent.com> Dennis

I'm not sure about a battery pack, but it can be plugged into a wall outlet through a USB... Seems to work just fine. Even considered buying a second one to act as a security camera for my front door.

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

Yes there is a battery backup!!! You might have to put the battery's in it.

It's not an internal battery, it's a battery pack that you need to put disposable batteries in

No, it does not have a battery backup since it is a surge suppressor. I have used these Tripp Lite devices for many years in my job as an electronic technician and have never known one to fail. A device with a battery backup would be an Uninterruptible Power Supply, which is another good choice to protect your equipment, but somewhat more expensive.

It is possible to hook up an external battery pack, it'd be a diy project though. Otherwise, like the other guys said, you're stuck with having to have a power outlet

9v battery is used as backup. The product description mentions this; however, the technical details say battery operated.... That's misleading

It has a battery inside that will keep the memory intact if the power goes out. It doesn't have an operational battery backup, meaning employees cannot clock in and out when the power is out. We have ours hooked up to an APC UPS battery unit. Honestly, even if Icon offered a battery, it'd probably be just as much (or more) than an APC.
