Hello, I finished installing capacitors as replacements for the dead backup batteries in my Freerunners today at lunch. They seem to be working, though I've only tried removing the main battery for under a minute so far. Someone on the GTA-02-core list said a 220uf capacitor would power the RTC for 2 minutes. If that is correct, the .07f caps I used should work for about 10 hours.
The parts I got from digikey weren't an exact fit, but I was able to make them work. Be sure to wear safety glasses if you try this, I had one of the old batteries explode when I was removing it.
