Describe the bug

I'm trying to remove a battery powered device but can't do it by the normal exclusion process.

So I factory reset the device and removed the battery but the device never shows as dead so I can remove it that way.

Now the device is in the network but unusable and I can't remove it.

My mains powered devices show as dead if I power them down as expected but the battery powered one doesn't

How do I get a battery powered device to show as dead?

To Reproduce

factory reset a battery powered device and remove the battery

Expected behavior

After a time the device should show as dead so it can be forced to remove

Did you try to use replace failed node against it?

[globe-earther]

No, I didn't think it would work since the device is not showing as failed.

I'll try it and see if it works.

Let me know

[globe-earther]

It didn't work.

the device went to inclusion mode and zwavejs started the inclusion process then at about 5 seconds left in the countdown timer the system hangs and everything stops until I click the 'x' to close the inclusion pop up.

I tried it a few times and made sure to hit the zwave button to keep the device awake with the same results.

I didn't try it next to the controller tho and just tried it in it's final location.

Is there a way to manually edit a file somewhere to set the failed flag?

I figured that file would be stuck somewhere in the docker store folder but I've looked but can't find it.

[globe-earther]

Nevermind, I just found out that battery operated nodes don't need to be dead in order to remove them.

Might I suggest changing the function description to make it less confusing/vague about removing battery powered nodes, please?

Unless I missed that somewhere.
