IPC3 Change in RTC battery type
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 1:41 pm
IPC3 is changed from soldered rechargeable battery to non-rechargeable battery on wires connected by W2B connector to the SBC.
The goal of this engineering change is to improve reliability of CMOS retention and RTC time keeping.
Non-rechargeable batteries are found to be more reliable than rechargeable ones, last in IPC3 for over 5 years under normal usage scenarios and are easy to replace.
The change applies to SBC serials staring from: 171024-xxxx
