hijack alert.

I have about 5 or 6 1520's on the shelf and they all seem to excessively
drain the lithium-coin-backup battery.

They'll sit on the shelf or charger for a coupla weeks, then when I start
'em
up, I get the low backup warning.

I realize I'm not helping out with your original inquiry...cuz I have
nothing
more to offer than the hard reset suggestion.
Just wondering if anyone checking in here has seen similar probs to mine.

I have had that , too. When I go to settings/system/power, it reads the
backup battery as "good". If I take the coin cell out and measure it, it is
good.

Beats me!
