Subject: 70CT CMOS battery and networking questions.
Hi All,
1) My 'new' 70CT seems to have a dead CMOS battery? (CMOS > F1 error on
switch on).
If these batteries are rechargeable how long should it take to get back
up to speed?
Do I need to buy a new one (£10?) or , if rechargeable could it simply
be a matter of taking it out[1] and giving it a little workout on the
bench charger?

If I do need a new one I note that the 'battery' is 2.4V so 2 x 1.2V
cells (probably Nicad or NiMh)?
In the spirit of Libby d-i-y ownership could I simply pick up a couple
of suitable cells (if I don't have them here anyway, RC modeler etc) and
make my own pack?
2) I used to have my 50CT in WiFi but I think I've lent out the WiFi
card I used to use (A Netgear MA401). ;-(
Would some kind soul remind me what cards are also suitable please and
ideally support WPA (don't think the MA401 does).
Same with an Ethernet card (I was hoping to use this Libby as a sort of
very portable diagnostic machine .. accessing home routers / fault
finding networks for friends / family etc).
All the best and thanks for your time (and hope this request gets through).
