Hi, Flavio,
this can be valid argument, because it's quite possible the quality of older products was better than the recent Chinese cheap imitations :-) But I haven't any detailed and deeper information concerning this - the answer can be found after another few years of using it...
From this point of view it can be good idea to use battery holder - the next battery exchange will be easy.
If I understand well the backup battery is loaded a little bit (if it's technically possible) when the instrument is switched on, and RAM chips don't need much current to keep their contents - probably that's the main reason why battery can last so long time.

Hi Daniel,
your thoughts make sense. But isn't it that the new CR2032-like batteries are less prone to battery leakage, and therefore preferred when desoldering old/used batteries
I'm not sure this is true, it's a simple question... ;-)
