I bought them at a local electronics retail store ("Radiolageret") in
Denmark, but that's probably not very useful information for most
people. :-)
OTOH they a quite standard. In ISO 60086 language it's "CR1225" and
(according to Wikipedia) in ANSI C18 language it's "5020LC". They're
12.5 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in height and rated for 3V voltage.
My guess is that most places that sell CR2032 cells (typically used for
bicycle headlights) also sell CR1225 cells.
We actually used BR1225 instead of CR1225, since that was what they had.
They should be similar, according to page 3 of this (googled) PDF

Re: [c-nsp] 6500/Sup720 losing "startup-config"
There are ROMMON upgrades for the Sup720. However it sounds like you have a problem with the NVRAM. It sounds like the older NVRAM was not flash based and the battery has died. It may be possible to replace the battery if it isn't part of the NVRAM unit and isn't soldered to the Sup720.
