Hello
In a Amazon revise, there is a way to add a backup battery.
What do you think? I copy and paste the review.
... Sadly I figure that the HD display also don't have an internal battery, so in case of power loss you'll need to set up the clock again. There are pads to place a 3.6v battery, however I wasn't able to find the RTC for time holding. I'll return after add the 3.6 battery and inform if it works....
....So far, it's a good station, but I'm slight disappointed with some ridiculous savings the company opted to do like remove an internal battery to hold time and date.
UPDATED: I did my try and wired the battery pads to do some tests and figure if the RTC will keep cointing time when power is removed and for my surprise the clock didn't lost time after that. So far this just makes me sad to think that someone did a well engineered piece of equipment and for some unknown reason (I hope it's not for savings) the battery don't came with the unit.
On attached pictures you can see the pads to install a CR1220-2 SMD support, I found one on (sot sure if I can tell here) for just $2. Other pictures shows details and my wiring for tests.
Test results: With external battery I ran for more than 2hs and had no time loss, without battery time goes out adter about 15 minutes, sometimes less.
UPDATED2: Some of you requested a picture showing the installation of the internal battery support and I just took some and added a 3in1 picture showing the suppor on my hand, the support in place and after solder it the CR1220 coin battery installed. I leaved the station off for a week and the clock still in time. I found the support on eBay.
I add some pics.
Thanks, Matias
