I know this is a zombie thread, but I thought I’d add my experience.
I acquired a T-7 tuner recently, and the memory wouldn’t stay. I found this thread, and replaced the battery with an 1100mAhr 1.2v
Nicad from batteries plus bulbs (no affiliation). They do welding on their batteries, so I had them weld the tabs on each end and just soldered
It right in place of the old one. Works perfectly!
I just thought I’d share my solution.
