	Hey Guys I got a piece of equipment that uses a Jetter Pase E CPU. As I understand it from the OEM of the equipment. The CPU uses a RAM to store the program. The RAM is provide power by a battery on the board when the equipment is powered down. What I would like to know with out removing it and inspecting myself if the battery can be replaced. As of now I can re-down load the program from a PC used as I/O on the equipment. That will keep production running.

	It is best to replace the battery with the board powered UP. Often, the OEM will say that the program can be reloaded without difficulty. What they don't tell you is that the RAM may also hold machine parameters such as end-stops, tool sizes etc. If these are lost and you don't know what they are or how to reload them, your machine becomes a lump of useless metal. You then have to go back to the OEM who now has you over a barrel. Be VERY cautious! If in doubt, decline the job and limit your liability.
