[QUOTE="arwooldridge, post: 558950, member: 35807"] Happened to me too. Not surprising as gas obviously does not run on electricity, Thus its a system designed to fail as soon as the internal battery dies. Assuming there are for arguments sake 10 million installations and the average battery life is say 5 years that means an average failure rate of 2 million per year! That means 2 million households will get either cut off or free gas, unless the supplier changes 2 million batteries per year, which I think unlikely. Some designer did not really think it through. Even assuming the battery life is ten years its still a huge problem. Now if they incorporated a miniature fuel cell..... [/QUOTE]
