I have just received my Clock Battery Kit from Amperfax to replace the
original 3B1 clock battery.

For those of you who haven't had to do this yet, here's what I got for
$ 28.49 

     2 each Panasonic AAA nicads ( roughly $ 1.50 - $ 2.00 )
     1 each battery holder ( approx. $ .59 )
     1 each pigtail with a polarized connector pair ( approx. $ 1.59 )
     1 instruction sheet telling me to unsolder the old battery terms
       and solder in the new. That's it !!!!! ...............

There's nothing else to it. So if you haven't done it yet, you will in
all probability have to do so within a year. You might be able to save 
yourself about $ 24.00 (~500 %) by shopping locally. 

The reason I bought the kit was on the advice of someone else who bought an
earlier kit which apparently had a current limiting network also. Now the
current limiting network is no longer provided ( perhaps not needed ) so
there's no apparent need to pay the extra 24 bucks or so. 

By the way, there is NO WARRANTY with the kit except that they will replace
a factory defective battery or connector only.

DISCLAIMER: This should not be constituted as advice but just as information
relaying what I got for my money and what I would do the next time.
