OK, but can users add their own backup battery?

Most hams are cheap, but the first half dozen orders got a good deal,
and it looks pretty polished already. It's only been a year and a half
since I took my current WX station off APRS because of false rain gauge
readings. Installing the ADS-WS1 in the same location will be a good
test to see if RF can mess up the sensors. How close to any active
antennas have you had yours installed?
