Re: CS 2560
I'm not sure you can replace the battery separately on those models. Could be wrong, though. Has this happened more than once? Does it happen immediately, or is there a span of time before the time changes? What does the date and time change to? Check to see if you have it set to connect to a time server. Also, make sure that your firmware is up to date. If it is, re-load it.I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up - Mark Twain -

Re: CS 2560
It is BAT1 on the MPWB. I can't find any specifics in the manual, but you can usually read whatever specs required right off the battery itself. They're usually 3.6vdc. The simple test we used to do on the early Mita's is to put your meter on the battery, the turn off the machine and unplug it. It's usually charged off of the 5VDC logic line, so when you unplug the machine the battery will quickly drop to 3.6vdc. A good battery will hold somewhere around 3.6vdc. A failing battery will keep dropping to 0vdc, often within less than a minute.
If you have have to de-solder be sure to use a heat sink on the legs as you de-solder/solder. It's no fun when the battery explodes in your face, or you cook it to death. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
