The ST chip is 2 layers that connect at the ends (seems

need to disconnect.
The datasheet for the ST chip is here:

and clearly says that the battery is in the "top hat", so Ethan's approach
shows a lot of promise.
Nothing on the 1225Y then other then finding a
replacement?
Well, you can try the same method on it and see if you turn up a battery.
Otherwise, replacements (either original or FRAM) are inexpensive and
available.
