Looking for a replacement backup battery available today.

Seems to me that there is enough room around the battery to replace it by something slightly bigger.
Did some/one of you replace it recently?
With what?

Finally, after some years experience, li-ion battery or capacitor?

Hah, is there anothner battery? Loosing time and date while removing battery - I thought it as a device character. Are there some other problems if it's dead?

Yes, another battery. You can see it on the first page of the thread.

There aren't any other problems if it is dead. They all seem to die after one or two years.

I guess no answer means nobody knows but just to be sure, I bump this:

Do someone know with what we could, today, replace the backup battery?
Capacitor, li-ion? Bigger size?
thanks

Any battery that has the same voltage?
If you can fit it in there nicely (no stray contacts to other components), I don't see how this could break your machine.

Yes, there is a small battery, about 3 mm across and 1 mm high, as a backup for the system timer while you are replacing the main battery (or the main battery is dead). It is supposedly rechargeable but it is never recharged (rumours are that an updated kernel enables the recharging but this did not happen in my experience), so it eventually dies after a few years.

The only negative effect is that, if you let your main battery discharge (or take it out), then the first thing the phone does the next time you switch it on is ask you to enter the current date and time.

I have been wondering about that too. Particularly the capacitor idea, but the lack of recharging put me off that. Another battery might help, as nonsuch says, but it seemed too much hassle to me to bother.

Sure, lot for few. Especially if the battery is not recharged. I thought there was a way to enable the charging by sending some bits somewhere (sorry) with I2C-something. Gotta find and try that. (unless you are sure it doesn't work).
EDIT: oops, instruction in post 33, just above.

On the orher hand, I often remove the battery and am a bit bored to
Code:
ntpd -s
each time.
