Subject: [TenTec] Orion backup battery 
TEN-TEC Sold me the ST Microelectronics M4T28-BR12SH1 Timekeeper snaphat 
lithium cell 
for $5 + $3 shipping in January of this year. Note M4T, not Z. 
It's [January 2011] data sheet: 
http://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/13125.pdf was unfound today on 
internet. 
The DIP Extractor tool pictured in above looked like simple, flat-sided tweezer 
to pry it up, with small teeth at ends to prevent dropping device. 
[ orion565@yahoogroups.com comments said small screwdriver works] 
Its Jan 2011 still available ST Microelectronics Application Note:

Use- Life appears to be 7-10 yrs. Storage-Life could be much longer 
Mine failed Jan 2011 after approx 7 to 8 yrs near-daily use 
I hope this as helpful to you as your inputs to the site have been to me.
