[Ham-Computers] Computer Clock Problems (Herb Gerhardt)

[John and Linda Miller]

Thanks, Herb!  Glad you got your clock problem solved.  Your feedback closes the loop on this one, and is timely as I have a friend in the area is fighting the same issue.  I'll pass the word along as I think he's trying to use a battery near the end of a life cycle.

What we need, especially with CR2032 because of its popularity, is a circuit that places a load on the disc or button battery under test.  In the last years of Heathkit, they introduced a battery tester for other than button batteries that took an otherwise "good" battery and under load you saw it fall down quickly.

If anyone knows of such a circuit, please post it.
