Backup battery question

Is it correct that Virus Ti has a soldered lithium backup battery inside?
If yes I ask myself why makers do not use a socket that makes replacement of these battery more easy.

...echo... :whistling:

No battery at all - that's good news.
So Virus TI uses flash memory to store all non volatile data?

The manual refers to changing battery. But it could be a normal CR battery or something more advanced with a battery holder (instead of being soldered).

Pffft. I don't insist on lithium...
So again a battery - what's true now?...I personally refer to Ti 1 desktop. Maybe Ti 2 or keyboards are different? That's confusing.

There is a battery. You can change it. It is a CR2032 (if I recall correctly).

Does this picture clear things up?

Regarding the battery the TI1 and TI2 are the same.

Read your manual. It says that you want your Virus TI's battery changed every about 4 years. Of course if you keep it standby most the time, with the power cable plugged in, you'll improve the battery's life. (And also you'll improve the life of any capacitor that's in the Virus. Caps like to be always powered.)

Edit: Timo beat me to it. Nice picture
