I would like to know if we need to replace battery
I thought the backup battery is only so you can use your home phone when there is a electricity outage!

Hi @terry57

It is up to you if you'll replace the battery or not.

The service will still work even without the battery back up.

Hi Terry. You are right. The battery powers the FTTP box during a blackout for 3.5 hours plus a reserve of 1.5 hours. You need a standard corded phone to make calls during a blackout. The wifi router will not work during a blackout and would need a UPS. The NBN network might be affected as well.
