I may have given some bad information. Stan pointed out to me that the 9x7's have a built in battery for short term power failures. I do know we got the 9x7's first, then upgraded to the 928's very shortly thereafter.
It would be interesting if someone did the test today, would the battery even work? Assuming it hasn't been replaced.
