5.8     What about the memory battery?

The  existing  3  volt  nickel-sized  lithium  memory  battery  can  be  replaced  with  any 
equivalent lithium battery. I replaced mine (which was reading 0.1 volts) with a large 3.6 
volt battery that had long, flexible axial leads, but probably any similar battery that you 
could shoehorn into the case would work fine.
