I never received battery when Verizon setup fios. Does anyone know where to get the terminal wire connector to connect the battery to the Verizon box?

The battery is for the backup system that is installed with the original installation. My backup system is in the basement. If the technician did not install a backup system I would definitely contact Verizon to have one installed. My original battery lasted almost 9 years.

When FIOS was installed for me, the FIOS technician had set that all up...I would contact FIOS to either have one mailed to you or set up an appointment for a technician to install it

I measured this battery and it is 3.7 inches tall. I think they are getting the 4 inches by measuring from the bottom of the battery to the top of the metal contacts on top of the battery. I bought this for my FiOS box and it fit perfectly.

It should stay charged when installed if your FIOS system is working. You could charge it with a 12 volt low amp charger-no more than 2 amps for no more than 6 hours.

Just plug it in the balance port on your battery. Mounting it, I used the velcro provided and drilled two small holes slightly off center and close together, mark one of the wires and the terminal block un-plug them from the block feed through the holes and Bingo. Mine came out very nice. Also cut out a small rectangle on the velcro on the light to make a nice fit for the wires on the light itself..

i don't remember. it is located inside a verizon fios backup system and not easily accessible. if you are planning on using it for a replacement for fios ups - it seems to work fine.

For my fios unit I just installed it, the system charged it on its own. For my portable compressor I did charge it after install, but it did have a charge on it as shipped.

This battery is an application specific battery, for a Verizon Fios telephone line backup, the backup time is is rated for is 6 hours. Sealed lead batteries might not be the best for your purpose, without more information it is hard to answer your question.

I have the Verizon 4G model and had no problems installing the battery. However, I wouldn't recommend buying this battery since it doesn't give any noticeable increase in battery life. Maybe an extra 30 minutes at most.

You have to loosen the nut on the battery terminal and strip the wire and secure it under the nut. I went and bought an open terminal instead of using bare wire.

Hi Trecia, It is basically a motorcycle battery so a trickle charger (2 amps) should work. I would recommend against it however. The thing is, the unit is in a charger already. The FIOS box the houses the battery has a charger built-in. It runs off AC current and the battery is there to maintain service should the power go down. If the battery is dead, it may be time to replace it. One thing you might try is to disconnect the battery (unplug the housing unit first), then reconnect the battery and plug the housing unit back in. This may reset the battery sensor in the housing unit. If it doesn't, you will need to replace the battery. These are sealed batteries and should not be recharged with anything other than the housing unit, in part because it is set to deliver a low but constant rate of charge which is different from using a car charger or motorcycle batt charger, and because of that, there is no adequate way to vent off the explosive hydrogen gas that is typically generated during a recharge using a car type charger. Hope this helps.

You cut off the two connectors already on the wire, and crimp ring terminals on the ends. Make sure the rings are big enough for the battery terminal you buy. Get a terminal for the battery that has a post and wing nut.

If it's a new boxed item. It will come with the ear bud headphones (which include a microphone and toggles for answering calls), usb to micro usb charging/file transfer cable, and a really nice cylindrical wall wart charger. The battery will all ready be installed, but will require recharging. There will be the usual crop of Verizon pamphlets saying "don't operate under water, and it's not their fault if your face catches on fire." There should also be a quick start guide but I couldn't get mine to work until I went to the Verizon site and followed the instruction for replacing my existing phone with another phone, this usually requires just typing in the IMEI number found on the box. The web site will know the brand and model from the IMEI. Enjoy.

Hi Jake,I used this battery for my FIOS box. I didn't charge it outside of the box. I merely installed it in the FIOS box and it immediately started working. I believe it automatically charges once it is connected. Hope this helps.

If you are handy, (or know someone who is), this is standard 14 gauge stranded wire. Someone with electrical knowledge and access to a radio shack can probably figure out how to run connectors from the unit to the battery. I am not sure if Verizon can help you with this or not. This is there unit and I would advise you ask them before attempting repairs. GOOD LUCK!

There are several batteries out there that will have the amperage that Verizon requires. I purchased the least expensive replacement I could and just made sure that I retained the connector that was provided with the original battery. I popped that on the new battery, pushed in the connector, and was done with the installation in 1-2 minutes. The most difficult part was replacing the battery cover! I don't thing that instructions came with the battery I ordered, though, but try to follow this and you should have no problems.

If the base station phone is working, then I'd suggest unplugging the base station and putting it in another phone jack in the house. The only time I've gotten that display was when my FIOS line was accidentally cut. It just sounds like the base station isn't communicating with the handsets. I have two different cordless base stations in my house, and haven't had a problem, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

My system also has an electrical part to it that plugs into an outlet. My battery got fried in a thunderstorm and FIOS had to come out and install the whole unit including a new battery. I don't think the charge should be draining. The electric portion of it should be recharging it. Sorry, I'm not much help.
