Hi Mike,
I have zero experience with the 859XE, and am only looking
over your shoulder, so to speak.
It is rare to see a backup battery installed where no thought
was given to how it was going to be replaced at some point in
the future.
Your way worked, which is pretty much all that matters.

Chuck,
With the greatest respect, I soldered my new battery into my 8594e
with the power off. Mine had the newer 3.7 volt disc battery which
meant that you needed to separate the battery pcb from the
processor pcb before the work can be done. The amount of time taken
to do this completely downs the processor pcb. The restore procedure
is well documented and if you have written down (the only way) the
flatness and correction data beforehand all goes well.
best regards

I must be missing something...
Aren't you already going to: "poke a soldering iron around in the
A16 pcb..." when you replace the battery?
Hand copying data onto a list, and then back from the list into
the instrument sounds like a great place to make a few mistakes...
Or, so it seems to me, as one who can effortlessly type at a rate
of over 40 errors per minute.

As it is so simple to restore the data after the battery is removed
,I personally would not like to poke a soldering iron around in the
A16 pcb. That¡¯s my opinion anyway Regards
