[Elecraft] K3 Internal Battery and Clock, and one more K2 for sale

[Dauer, Edward]

Any experience with how long the K3’s internal battery should go before replacement?

My K3, assembled in late 2013, lost six hours on the clock over the last couple of weeks.  After correction it seems to be running well enough, but I wonder if this is an indication that the internal battery is due for replacement.  I would rather not open the case unless I have to.

In case it matters I leave the K3 powered off for weeks at a time – but I believe the internal battery is not rechargeable so that shouldn’t be the culprit . . .

In addition, I still have one K2/10 for sale as a result of my downsizing program.  Inquiries off-list, please.

Tnx, as always . . .
