NBN stands for Natural Broadband Network. NBN batteries are a rechargeable backup power supply which can be used in place of the main supply if the power runs out or due to load shedding. NBN battery also aids to keep phone services active in case of any power outage. In some places services that are provided are critical and need continuous network connections. Due to such reasons, it is preferable to use NBN batteries.
NBN batteries come with a warranty of 12 months as mentioned by EnerSys Australia, but they usually last for even up to five years if properly maintained and utilized.

ADVANTAGES
There are many benefits to using NBN batteries such as it being a backup not only for phones and internet, but also for the modems and routers. Also, these batteries have the feature to automatically get switched on as a backup supply whenever the power goes out.

Aside from big companies, they can also be used at homes to be free of hassle if a power loss occurs while streaming television or just to keep the Wi-Fi and routers up to keep the mobiles connected.
Also, these battery backups almost last for five continuous hours, which is an ample average for sustaining a network in a power outage situation. According to statistics, the maximum power outage time in Australia was forty-nine minutes.
Countries having this average up to three hours can also benefit from these batteries. Also, most of the NBN batteries turn off after reaching 40% of their charge, which helps in preventing the unnecessary damage and running the batteries for a long period.
BATTERY CONDITION IDENTIFICATION
To check the condition of a battery or to check the amount of usage done, most batteries come with a little indicator system that informs the user about the health of batteries, which includes an indicator to inform when the batteries have been activated, and it also includes a pointer to inform the user about when the batteries need replacement.
