T3 battery,,,,,,?

does a t3 battery need to be replaced by an aproved clock repairer, or can it be done by our selves........?

your club clock setter can do it David but think you can do it your self but not 100% sure mate

thanks rene, pm sent

I could be wrong here but I was under the impression that if the battery gets disconnected (or goes flat) that the flash memory is lost and needs to be reprogrammed, although if you have the right battery as a spare, with a bit of careful planning it should be possible to to change it without losing power to the i/c.

mmmm, you could be right steve, maybe this is why they reccomend fanciers to send it in for doing......but if someone has a bit of sense like you say they could actually do it them selves........worth thinking about.
