[TenTec] Orion II unexpected master reset

[Rod Greene]

I bet you're right John. 

I think the battery I had replaced was a different one. So my original back up battery is probably going south now. Do you remember if you replaced yours with one from Ten Tec or one of the parts stores like Newark? I see in the Ten Tec wiki some information. And I did find the battery at Newark for a little over $6.00. 

Thanks, Rod

Hi Rod,

Sure sounds like you need a new battery.  I got just short of 10 years 
out of my original Orion II battery, but they sometimes go much quicker 
than that.
