Soldered-on RTC batteries (with type covered as a bonus) (i.imgur.com)

This battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router, and is not field-replaceable.

But who determines its lifespan?

Knowing there is a battery set to fail and I can't simply replace it makes me physically uncomfortable. Enough so that I'd rather it not have RTC.

Thanks Cisco.

On another note, as is said here https://lemmy.world/comment/10316824 some devices clears the rom when the battery is removed, effectively making the battery's life, the device's life. THIS is true asshole design.
EDIT uhm, didn't see this was an old thread.
