BA II PLUS Battery

dunno the actual estimated life, but everyone i know has had theirs for years without the battery going out.

but then again, you hear experiences here of calculators dying in the middle of working out a problem.
 
I decided not to find out. Bought two batteries, used one and taped the other to my passport. I really did not want to make a change during the test without knowing what defaults to change, so I did it while I had time to still use it on the qbank.

I have the professional, only thing to change was the decimal places, if you wanted more or less than 6. Other change most mentioned was the P/Y which remained at 1 on mine, but may default to 12 on others.
 
i've read it's quite fiddly changing it.. What d'u think?
 
Slide off the cover, pop it out with a pen, and put the new one in. Was not a problem. Don't know if there is a diff b/w plus professional and the normal plus, but I doubt it.

I know it is overkill, but murphy's law and fishing offshore have taught me to never trust a battery. When I read about people taking 2 calcs with them, I decided this would be the easiest way out. $7 for the batteries at the drug store.
 
Batteries can last a long time. But be safe and bring an extra.

For those of you using the normal BA II Plus, the BA II Plus Pro is a godsend when you encounter the discount payback period problem on the exam.
