Datasheet
RTC Backup Battery
The Ultimate GPS module does not have a built in RTC battery, but a coin cell is provided, simply
place the coin cell inside the holder, with the + facing up, thats it! The battery will last 7+ years
The real time clock will automatically set itself to the correct UTC time as soon as the GPS gets its
first correct signal from a satellite. Without the battery, if the GPS loses power, it will forget the time
and has to wait till it gets signal again to reset. But, if you have the battery in, it will keep time even
after a power loss. We recommend it highly!
