How do I replace the wire connecting my backup battery to my FIOS box?

[ferizon]

I threw away the wire that connects my backup battery to my FIOS box.  I need to get a new one.  

Can anyone tell me how to get a new wire?

As a backup, I am willing make my own wire.  But I don't know what the connector is called at the box.  Anyone know that?  (See picture)

Thanks!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for reply, but there is nothing about the wire in the Verizon support site.  (Including the link that you sent.)

I am pretty sure that I am not the first guy to have lost this wire.  Its a bit frustrating that Verizon doesn't make them available for purchase.

So, my quest continues.  Still looking for this wire.

Thanks again,

Joe

If you share the Part Number and or Model number of the unit you pictured

someone might be able help you identify the connector

This may help you. First solution is to find the part number and on http://google.com it should come up with the product specs. I know there is also other ways to get this power cord.

did you stop into one of the Verizon Fios brick and mortar stores? They would have the correct specs and or even the part its self.

another thing to try is a place like Amazon which may have the power cord listed.

other places are to ask at Toms Hardware  http://www.tomshardware.com

or at Howard's forum  http://www.howardforums.com/content.php

hope you find it...

Hopes this helps others. Here is the part. It's not cheap ($19) but I guess that will help me remember not to chuck it next time! I've been living with out a back up battery for several years now, but we've had so many power outages over the past few months that I can't stand playing the re-boot shuffle b/w my verizon box and router anymore.

Are you looking for L6.2-2P DC connector? You can find plenty of them on Ebay. Link
