The batteries (there are two sealed batteries in the unit) do not appear to have degraded much in one year of service. Test performed at moderately low load (~ 40%) because that's the data I had from one year ago. They lasted for 59 minutes and a few seconds before hitting the "warn load to perform clean shutdown" threshold (120 seconds of battery life at current draw rate). Braindead racoon shutdown scripts have convinced me to kick that margin up to 5 minutes, though. Anyway, the batteries probably have degraded < 5%, but without a calibrated load I can't properly test anything with more precision (and I can't time travel and do that test one year ago :-) ). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
