Hello all. Has anyone changed the battery pack in the older vm1000? The company wants $41.00 for the battery and instructions. Thank you in advance.

How old is your VM1000? Mine is ~6 years old and so far so good, also what is the battery for?

It is 10 yrs old. I am not sure what it does. I do know I have lost the recording tack.

The battery pack includes RAM also in the original VM1000. I had the pack in my DPU replaced a few years back and I think that the $41 is reasonable.

The battery is for the fuel computer functions and tach. time. If you send it back for a battery pack they will reset the tach time.

I have 1900 hours on my RV8 over 9 years. I had to replace the battery in my VM1000 after 1000 hours over 5-6 years. It is a simple job to replace the battery and includes instructions to set tach time etc.

The chip is an ST M48T02-150PC1 "Timekeeper RAM" chip. I bought one from Newark or Digi-Key, I can't remember which. I believe that VMS specified an eight year replacement interval, but my aircraft's manufacturer (Diamond) initially specified two years in the maintenance manual, so I replaced it then. Subsequently, Diamond changed the interval to agree with VMS's eight years. The product datasheet lists a minimum data retention time of ten years. It lists for about $15 in single quantities.
Can you post (or e-mail) the instructions regarding tach time reset? I can't find mine (maybe I'm the one who needs a new memory battery!).
