BC 536hp Clock

Every time I turn on my radio I have to reset my clock what the deal ???

Turn on your scanner. Leave it on for an hour (actually, 50 hours to fully charge the real-time clock battery, but 1 hour will let you turn it off for a while).

Just curious, after the RTC battery is fully charged (50 hrs), if the unit was switched off, and not turned on again for weeks (an extended time, like during a long vacation, or whatever), how long would the RTC battery last with the unit constantly off, before the user would need to recharge the RTC battery and reprogram the RTC time?

Thanks,

Couple of weeks.
