I think some might be the rechargable type, but on mine it's a standard CR2032 - however it's soldered down so a little bit of surgery is required to replace it. If you're not pretty handy with a soldering iron I'd recommend leaving it in somewhere to get replaced, and preferable replace it with a CR2032 battery holder so the next time you can do it yourself.

Also, a diode failed on my 1260 not so long ago, meaning that when I replaced the battery, the new battery was dead in a few days.

By default the B1260 uses a VL2020 which is a rechargeable type. Don't use a CR20xx without a diode!


Absolutely! Double check yours to make sure! My board is a DCE one, so maybe it's only phase5 boards that have the VL batteries?
