Does anybody know the details of the TBolt? Does it have any way to remember
the almanac or time without external power? I looked at a few pictures from
the net and didn't see anything that looked appropriate, but I didn't pull
the cover off mine.
A large cap would probably provide a few minutes to hours without using
super-cap technology which probably didn't exist when the TBolt was designed
or adding nasty chemicals that batteries usually contain.
