Man, I hope that nobody puts AA batteries in one of these new boards. If Stern was smart they would manufacturer the new boards with a lithium coin cell holder.

Quoted from HighVoltage:No reason to use batteries on this board, NVRAM is as simple as popping in a $3 chip. If you can pull a chip, you can upgrade to NVRAM on this board.
I know, that's not my point. You'd be surprised how many people have no clue, I see it every week. Someone will spend >$400 on a new board and stick AA batteries in it. If Stern updated it with a coin cell holder the problem would not exist.
