Good point.

Just tried to turn mine on with main battery removed to simulate a dead main. I get no indication that it even tries turn on.

Can't seem to locate any info on how long backup is supposed to last.

A friend of mine forgot to turn his off and found it 24 hours later with main and backup drained.
