Is there a battery backup for the electronic ignition system?

I own this unit. It has relatively modest power needs (less than 100w), but power is used for more than just the electronic ignition. There's also the electronic control system and an active venting system (i.e. a fan) that uses electricity. You could easily power this off a small generator or a battery system when in use as long as it can provide stable current. (Note: I have no idea what the warranty states about running it off a battery, so do so at your own risk.)

Yeah. If the battery gets used up just plug it via usb to your computer, 115vac, car usb converter...Lights go all disco too. Pretty cool imho

This is direct connected to your ignition switch or vehicle alarm. It is not battery operated.

I did not see where batteries could be used as a backup, however you might want to call Voice Alert 6 directly to reconfirm and double check.

Yes, just make sure to install the C-wire. Then, the batteries will just function as backup

Yes, mine came with a backup key in case the battery dies. So far I've had no issues at all with this.

I have not used with a battery back up system. This is 120v ac only. No option for 12v DC.

There is no On/Off switch, so for the cars that keep the lighter powered after the ignition key is taken out, you'll need to remove the power adapter for the camera. As previous users mentioned, you'll need to have a micro-SD card, that is formatted in FAT32. It needs to be Class 10, otherwise you'll have the unit locking up and crashing all the time.

I do, but you'd want to make sure that your outlet turns on with the ignition only. Mine stays plugged in 24/7.

Yes it is electronic ignition. I recommend the Hayward. I first purchased the Pentair - had to return it TWICE because it was broken in shipment. Poor design on the PLASTIC housing.

I know there is a battery backup, but I have mine plugged into an outlet. I don't know how long the battery is supposed to last, but I wouldn't recommend it as your primary source of power.

I use my starter battery and it works just fine, an aux battery would be the best choice but not necessary at all.

No battery backup built in but it uses the battery from the the alarm system. It has retained my zwave configurations after being disconnected. Most of the alarm programming is retained on your alarm system. IP address and such is usually DHCP.

The one that I bought came with a battery backup. When the power goes out the battery keeps the exit light on and the two side lamps go on.

Yes. We actually have one of the older (and well used) units, so the gps battery actually doesn't hold a charge much anymore - meaning the unit is ALWAYS plugged in when in use. We've got ours plugged in to a power port that is linked to ignition, so it powers up/down on key start.

Yes it has electronic ignition controlled by the included thermostat. This is a 12 volt DC unit and functions quite well.
