    Quoted from beaky:

    i use a 2354 on wpc and wpc95,
    i had a customer who had a 2032 fitted to a wp95, and the battery was only lasting 6 month due to the power the clock uses, after replacing the 2032 twice in just over a year i felt it was more of an inconvenience so I changed it to a 2354 over a year ago and its still going strong.
    i have had 2354 batteries fitted to some wpc and wp95 boards for more than 2 years and they are still going strong

    That's interesting. Can anyone confirm this?
    I'm very interested in doing this since it's clean and easy, but if it the batteries only last 6 months I'd rather go the NVRAM route. At least when I change the AA batteries on my own machines it's because it's my maintenance schedule and not because they are dead.

    I'd love to start changing over batteries to these.

    I'm personally really digging the idea of starting doing this for a few reasons, but I don't want to have to drill.

    I think I've got a junky board I can mess around with to see what I can make work.

    Honestly I'm a big fan of NVRAM, but I'm not comfortable at the moment desoldering RAM from the multilayered boards. So for me, with my current soldering skills, this is a nice mod I can do myself. Battery holders are in the scope of my ability.
