But they moved on to power coming from a transformer on the pole instead of those wimpy batteries. I ran into phone lines carrying 110VDC in Texas. What a surprise arcing that sumbitch to the aluminum trainer.

Sneakily the phone company puts a 1 year warranty on these batteries and so you will eventually have to pay that $50 for voltage these assholes used to provide gratis.

Tons of cheaper options on the net, and with clodfobble's link you can get a nice one from Amazon.
I bought one and then realized nobody calls me anyway, so it didn't get installed.
