Smart meter backup

Kelly Marie Angel

Hi this just a point of curiosity  but I was just wondering if smart meter backup batterys  are rechargeable I suppose the fact that we mite possibly be in for a winter of powercuts  peaked my interest

    I would expect that smart meters would function correctly even after a prolonged power failure, whether by internal battery or by a capacitor.

    Large numbers of customers were cut off for a week or more due to storm Arwen, I do not recall any reports of significant problems with smart meters. I would presume that after a relatively short time without power, that a smart meter would enter a low power mode in order to preserve data in the memory, turning off the backlight for the display for example.

    So no concerns about the odd 3 hour rota power cut.
