Sounds like the power supply is starting to go. I would schedule a appt for a tech to come out and replace. At some point it will not recover from a reboot.

You can replace it yourself. No sense getting a truck roll and possible charge for tech visit.

The new battery reserves are even easier. Just put D cell batteries in the case. 

Remember there are battery backup units and battery reserve units.

I sorry. I should have be more clear. I didn't mean to replace the battery. I meant the actual power supply itself most likely needs replacing. And definitely don't waste money on the 12v battert, because Verizon no longer installs those bbu/power supply combo. All repairs and installs are the power adapters with the d cell tray.
