First, when the list has refered to a stopped clock, and replacing the
oscillator, means that the KSU would power up, but would not operate. A "stopped
clock" means the timing function of the CPU could not operate, allowing the
CPU to run through it machine cycles, and read memory and perform the
neccessary computations. So what you are refering to is not a "stopped clock", but
a "stopped real-time" clock. That is a function of the CPU as it has power.
The Specification for memory backup is 7 years. Note the key word "memory".
Does your system still have all of it's programming? If the answer is yes,
then nothing is wrong. The system can only support 30 days backup for
clocking functions, before it reserves the power for memory. Which, in essence,
is what your system is indicating by the stopped real-time clock at Feb 5 &
14, roughly 30 days from removal.
Just fire them up, and reset the dates, program code 000, and leave them
powered up to see if you loose real-time clock function. If you do, then there
is another issue involved.
You can only ask so much from the battery backup for the KSU. You start
demanding more power to support more functions in the system, and pretty soon
you have to hookup a car battery for memory back-up.
