Does this have backup battery for clock (so that I won't need to set up all again after power outage)?

According to the APC spec sheet, the timer is battery-powered (it does not say what the battery type is).

It's possible because I have never had to set the times on the power saver after a power outage

Yes, it uses 3 AA batteries for back up. I haven't had to rely on the batteries yet. I absolutely love this alarm clock. The sounds are realistic, clear, the beginnings/ends of the "loops" are not noticeable. Even the radio is great. Living in a place where usually only one station is available, I am enjoying the +++ stations I'm now getting! This is a great, no best clock/radio I would ever want.

i haven't had a power outage yet, however after programming and setting the clock, everything is retained despite unplugging the unit

Yes. Word of warning...if the power goes out, you will need to reset the timer. Also, this product lasted about one year and died on me. Did not replace with another. Went to Lowes and bought one that is digital and has battery backup ($25) seems to work great, but time will tell

Yes. I purchased it to replace the same battery that was in my home alarm unit. It serves as a back-up power supply in case of a power outage. It works dependably when the electricity fails (that doesn't happen here too often).

No. It has no batteries to use for a backup. So if the power quits, so does the phone

Yes, it does have a battery backup. It works great, as i've turned the circuit off several times during our remodel and no power loss to the timer. All the times and programs remain correct.

No it doesn't. But there is a capacitor that can retain the clock for several minutes. Smarter: no battery to change.

Yes, so long as the power stays on it retains its clock and timer settings.The batteries are only to preserve settings in case of a power outage.

The battery is there for backup in case of a power failure. We selected this model specifically because it will not need frequent battery replacement.

Not that I know of. Anything plugged in has a battery back up. I am in an area of frequent power failures. More than one a month and it has not been a problem with the security system. You could call GE, I think it is GE/Jasco for the security system. Sorry I don't have the number with me. They are very helpful.

This model is wired with a battery backup. You are better off with both power sources as you always have alarm protection.

There is internal battery( non rechargeable) just to keep the clock going, but to control you need 12+ volts to be able to function. I guess the internal batt is replaceable.if it stays plugged to power source will go without the batt. It worked fine for me, not a bad purchase.

Yes there is a battery backup. You do not lose the program, however the sprinkler will not work without power.

No. The batteries only keep the current time and date. There is a computer chip in the clock which stores all the programming.

No backup battery inside unit. But.it.is.powered through the backup battery on.the alarm system.control board. Bit even.if that fails, no need to.reprogram Everything. Just basic time and date.
