    Yes ... do not take the battery out! tbh, how many people would take the battery out? Would you cross the road in front of a truck if you were told that doing so would kill you? No. So, why would you disconnect the battery? They've said that before the life of the battery is out (likely to be around 3 years minimum I would say), they will release a solution... So, wait until then. Don't mess around with it, and if there are genuinely any problems related to this without messing with the battery, we would've heard about it by now!

    It's the same sort of bios battery that a normal PC uses. I have seen them last as long as 10 years but also as little as a year. The idea of the battery is to allow the saving of the settings on devices e.g the bios settings on a PC. I is not mean't to actually store and maintain the bios. The batteries in those little holders are designed with easy replacement in mind - so when the battery dies you can simply replace it and reset your bios settings. Having it actually maintain the chip information (bios) is frankly ridiculous.

    I must also admit if I had known this I would have gone down the Vu Duo route rather than the CT9000
