FWIW the system sits in a corner and is on 24/7. 
Not used for production just rare weird tests and 
vague what ifs.  Today (18th), it shows 
9 - Power on time
14- adjusted power on time
647- time to warning
702- time to error

 vs.

May 15th:
6 - Power on
10 - adjusted
662 - warning
717 - error

That's a 15 day loss to warning/error for a 3 day period.

The 1000 days lifetime of a battery usually can be reached when the 
systems is up and running 24x7 - if the box is shutdown and later
restarted (at night, for example) this amount can reduce dramatically.
Also - if you have cheap replacement batteries which are not fully
charged this can happen - the controllers do not charge the batteries.
