[time-nuts] Oncore battery backup (answer to question)

[Robert Atkinson]

Hi Joe,
Yes you can use a supercap. It will directly replace the ni-cad Just make sure the voltage rating is high enough, e.g. 5V 
Ebay item 160495558462 looks good.

Recently, the local area had an extended power outage. I have the
Z3801A on a UPS, but the outage lasted over an hour and the UPS
didn't. I have the information about adding a battery to the Oncore to
allow for faster startup. Is it safe to use a supercap instead of a
battery?
