That way extended power off periods are not a problem. My BU-353 has a supercap. That's better than a battery that I might have to replace, or possibly couldn't replace. But I don't like knowing that, if I unplug it for a week, I'm going to have to reprogram it.

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and such. I don't always see new messages very quickly. If you need a reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.) Ron Frazier timekeepingdude AT c3energy.com
