So buy another Pilot III on ebay. Another good choice is a 295. Those

I would were it not for the way batteries work. Best I can tell, it's
been 3 years since the Pilot III ended production. Those internal
batteries are not replaceable (without glue) and they are aging every
day, whether they are in use or not.

There was a discussion regarding changing that type of battery. It is
doable, and by putting a temporary battery on jumpers, you can do it without
dumping the settings. If it has a reset button to restore the functions,
just unsolder one and put another one in with silver bearing solder and hot
glue.
