Interesting! What tooling do you use to do
this?
I thought they were kinda sorta designed to make this easy? I seem to
recall
some of the Dallas parts even have available battery replacements, where you
can remove the old battery and attach the new, which snaps onto the IC
somehow?
The Mostek (?) "top hat" package was designed like that.
Most of the Dallas parts I have seen were potted blocks.
