Summary
Certain Australian residential properties equipped with FTTP NBN installations feature a Power Supply Unit with a backup battery. When the battery reaches the end of its lifespan, the unit emits warning beeps. Property owners can resolve this without expensive call-out fees by sourcing a compatible sealed lead-acid battery online or from electronics retailers for self-installation. Alternatively, property managers can handle the replacement, though owners should factor in potential service charges.
Key Points
Why it matters: Older Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) NBN installations contain backup power units that beep when batteries degrade, presenting a simple maintenance task landlords can resolve cost-effectively.
