Thanks guys for the info. I'll find the new battery/clock chip at Mouser or
Digi-Key and replace it. I'm not concerned about the tach time. I don't use
it. I have a Hobbs meter installed.

Subject: [LML] Re: VM1000/EPI-800 replacement internal battery?

I have a VM800 and I changed the battery about 5 years ago. The  
original battery lasted about 11 years.

It is not just the battery that may cause an inconvenience. When the  
battery is changed. The Tach time will go back to zero on the VM800  
(at least on the one that I own). Vision Micro sent me a tool that  
hooked up to the VM800 so that I could change the tach time back to  
the time that was on the tach before the battery was changed. If we  
can not obtain this tool, a logbook entry will have to be made to  
adjust the tach time from the new zero.

I believe that all of the other gauge settings were retained.
