Re: 20 Year battery. Am I the only one? Message #2 Posted by Steve on 27 Jan 2001, 8:48 p.m., in response to message #1 by CJ
I think it's a testament to
a) the life of these batteries
b) HP's good design to make memory modules when they did using as little power to retain memory as they did (and still do).
Incidentally, my port extender uses that same sort of batteries as one of my (old) cameras. These cameras are powered all the time. The battery is used for the meter and the automatic setting of aperture. These batteries are widely known to last between 10 and 15 years in these cameras.
