If you don't use the clock, just take the CR2032 battery out!
Save money and ease your minds about leaking.
However, I have never seen one leak in the thousands of K3's I have
worked on.
I have only replaced the battery upon request as I have never seen one
actually be dead.
There is no indication that the internal clock battery is low or dead
other than the clock does keep time
To see if it is dead, just set the clock then turn off the radio and
pull the DC power. Time will be wacky when you check it.
Also if you take the Front Panel off the radio, the clock will need
resetting.
If you see BAT LOW, your DC supply voltage is lower than the setting in
the BAT MIN config menu.
Not related to the clock battery.
