A low battery won't cause any funny operation - it's only function is to store program data. That said, I don't know if a 2032 is a strong enough replacement. It is only 200mAh, and the original battery is much higher. A 2032 might run out of juice way too quickly. We replace the originals with a 1200 mAh lithium battery (plus the diode to disable the charging circuit). Sam Mims Syntaur On 1/29/2019 7:29 AM, Kenny Balys wrote: > > Oh crap... its there.
