 The reason that the battery backup wasn't working in my '9000
 is that there are no batteries. (that would prevent it from
 properly functioning, I'm sure...)  I assume that the previous
 owner found the batteries to have gone bad, and simply decided
 to remove them. 
I could also be the batteries had corroded and needed to be
removed.
Also remember never left lead-acid batteries freeze.
