If their back up system fails then it’s their fault for not keeping it up to date. Seriously, my husband is an engineer who designs these battery systems. They do not “fail” if they are maintained and replaced properly.

Patently absurd. Technology often fails regardless of what you do. Inviting that failure would be negligence and should be illegal.

The one thing I know for sure about any engineer is that we are intimately familiar with the concept of things failing when it's least convenient.
