What voltage is your battery reading? It should only need 3 volts to keep the settings. Maybe the ram itself is bad, draining the battery prematurely. Or something else in that circuit downstream.

Quoted from FiatsRUs:I am working on the premise that my battery draining issue is resolved (I will continue to monitor this). My goal is to get rid of batteries that require replacement on all of my pins
That being the goal, is there a rechargeable option for the SAM system? It seems that installing a rechargeable battery with 3.5 vdc and putting a jumper on the blocking diode would do the trick. Not true? Has anyone tried this?
Rechargeable batteries die as well. Stick with the lithium coin cells or go NVRAM.
