Hi Matt_H,

Trouble is that the rechargables will only output 2.4V when hooked up. Can the RTC handle that?


Try using three (3) AAA rechargable NiCd batteries.  The RTC needs at least 3.6 volts.  Each AAA rechargable NiCd battery puts out about 1.2 volts, so three of them should output 3.6 volts (just what the RTC needs).   :-D
My favorite TV shows:  Star Trek Voyager, Forever Knight, Stargate SG1, Married with Children, As Time Goes By, Mr. Bean, Smallville, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Xena
