I believe TT has a product similar to that which DOES need batteries.

My brother fan controller has a standard CMOS type batter to save settings when the computer is turned off. I think the Hardcano 13 does as well but im not positive.

It is useful when you have alarms and other things set.

It doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to replace the stadard batteries with rechargables and set the batteries up to charge while the computer is on. Correct me if I'm wrong though. By difficult I mean the circuit wouldn't have to be very complex

The person might have gotten this panel confused with a simple temperature monitor (one that just says the reading from one temp probe). Most of those run off of batteries not taking in any external power at all. If that person was looking for an upgrade for that system, they might have not connected the dots and therefore thought that "if it reads temps, a battery is behind it". It happens...

When was the last time you had to replace a CMOS battery?

I've done it once, about 4/5 years ago...

Back in the day, the batteries would only last a good six years. They don't make 'em like they used to.
They make them better now.

I replaced quite a few batteries already. Mostly when the computer has been off a long time. Over than that I havent had to mess with em much.
