[time-nuts] Re: Oncore UT+ EEPROM -

[paul swed]

The answers are the same that I have add a backup battery off board.
However I do something just a bit different. I use 2 X AAA batteries in a
holder external to the box. For easy inspection, voltage checks and super
easy battery exchange.
Save deracking and such. (Lazy)
Good luck
