I opted to epoxy a 2032 cell holder on top of the chip rather than run
wires out to an AA holder. The result is on the above site.

Well, consider
the Dallas battery-inside-the-chip clock-calendar circuits.
7 years sounded like forever--and it may well have been to the original
owners of the equipment. But now, they're starting to fade and finding
replacements can be a bit of a hassle. In 20 years, it'll probably be
nearly impossible.
I shave off the top of the DS1287s and replace the cell. It's easy to find
the battery on those as it's magnetic!
