2320.0. "Batteries for PCP35 old?" by OTIGER::R_WHEELER (Bureaucratically Impared) Tue Mar 04 1997 12:46

I service a customer's PCP35 laptops on site (State of Ohio), and I 
have one that is losing time.  

Usually I replace the 3V Li battery (29-30632-01) round - under the keyboard
but I've done that twice and it's still losing time.

The box the last battery came in had the following label:

PO#: VS218290
AST-175000-013
29-30632-01
Qty: 1
AUR WRTY  02/27/97
Made in SWITZERLAND

i'm concerned about the line AUR WRTY:  02/27/97   and wonder if this 
means the batteries are old and stale.

does anyone know how to check?
How I can get fresher batteries?
should stockrooms be purged of dated batteries?

thanx

    Perhaps the slow clock problem is not due to the battery.  Sometimes,
    oscillators go out of spec...
