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.
