Appreciation post: A customer in Tampa told me their old system had a 30 minute battery backup

Honestly, I was doing a takeover install and the homeowner mentioned their previous alarm only had a half hour of battery life. That's just crazy to me now. We're putting in systems with 24 hour backups as standard, and some even go to 48. It made me realize how much the baseline has shifted in just a few years. Tbh, if you're still quoting or installing anything under a full day of backup, you're doing your clients a disservice. What's the shortest backup time you guys would feel okay putting in a new system today?

What happens if the power's out for longer than that half hour backup?

Guess they just hoped the bad guys would be on a tight schedule.
