I would vote for a lithium AA.

Something like a Tadiran TL5104 3V6 @ 2A10 hrs

I remember reading in one of the docs I have for the Oncore that
Motorolla recommended a battery over a cap mainly for practical

to conect to pin-1 on the header

BATTERY (Externally applied backup power)
Voltage:   2.5 V to 5.25 V
Current:   5 μA typical @ 2.5 V
            100 μA typical @ 5.0 V

Yes, a UPS isn't the most efficient method of running the GPSDO. It
was an expedient until the day I run it on batteries.

As for backing up the Oncore, power outages are not the only reason. I
may need to power down the GPSDO to add mods or other reasons may
arise. Having the almanac stored will help.

I would still like to know if using a supercap is ok. They are made
for memory backup, so why couldn't I use one for the Oncore? I have a
few different values on hand.
