will some one tell me the battery number covered and number of cells so I am
properly prepared to exchange.

The backup battery really has nothing to do with the PROMs (Subject of
this thread). It backs up, when the counter has no AC power, a section
of SRAM memory. That memory holds a calibration constant that affects
the accuracy of the counter's interpolation method for measurements.
This memory also holds more mundane things like save and recall of
counter user setups.
The backup battery is a single standard CR2032-style lithium 3V coin
cell. To open the case there are 3 torx head screws. One in the bottom
center (T10 size) and two at the back plastic feet (T20 size). I started
the opening process by prying with a small screwdriver in the cracks
between the plastic front panel and the case.
To keep the RAM memory intact, the counter must have AC applied and be
in Standby. To remove the battery the holder has openings toward the
front of the counter where you gently pry up the battery. I used a
plastic screw driver adjustment tool. The new battery easily slides in
the way the old one came out. For maximum long term goodness avoid
touching the new cell with bare hands (possibly a bit too anal-retentive).
Hopefully a small pic I took of the battery location will be attached.
