Many thanks, Tim and Richard. So I have a potential problem...

Any ideas on how long the internal battery might last?

Is my manual just plain deficient? If my Volkslogger really does have
an internal battery, what will I experience when it runs out of juice,
how long should it last, and who can replace it?

Yes It does have an internal battery. It's most important function is
that it maintains the Electronic Seal, without which your flights would
be 'insecure' and not acceptable for badges/records.

It also maintains the Real Time Clock between flights. This is not
critical because even if the RTC loses time, it is corrected once
satellite communication is achieved.

You can replace the battery, but only a Volkslogger Dealer can replace
the electronic seal, so leave it to the dealer to replace the battery,
then if the battery is faulty, it's his problem.

Flights are stored in non-volatile memory, so are not lost if the
battery fails.- Hide quoted text -

I would say your are lucky at 10 years. It is sort of like a watch
battery. Got any 10 year old watches.
