What is the battery? A lithium coin cell?
Yes.
Having had all sorts of batteries leak over the
years, I would be happer
if you could repmve the old battery (even if it makes a mess of the top
of the package. Is that possible?
I never had problems with leaking lithium coin
cells. You can remove the battery by cutting the top of the
chip. But be
carefull, the other half of the top contains the oszilator crystal of
the RTC. I don't like to remove the battery because it weakens the top
Of course, For the moment I'd forgotten about that xtal. I asusme it's a
norm,al 32768Jz one.
How are the connections fro the battey and crystal made to the chip itelf?
