I have a problem. The date and time resets if your remove the battery. I checked the capacitor. (rechargeable battery). It is damaged. I am looking for it to buy. I have a question for you. Is it a capacitor or rechargeable battery? What kind? What is capacity mF or battery mAh etc? Where can I buy it?
How long it keeps settings when device Git2 works properly?
When my Gitup' 2's date/time-keeping battery failed, Gitup sent me a new PCB(the main circuit board) after changing, the function was restored.
Yes, and Gitup sent a new main circuit board, which I replaced, and now the Git 2 rembers the date/time.Hey man, did your git2 at first work fine when you changed batteries? It was only later on when it started exhibiting the time forgetfulness? I might be in the same boat, as my git2 is starting to act up now.
Yes the camera was working as advertized for a time, probably mos. before I noticed it was resetting the date/time when I changed the battery.Hey man, did your git2 at first work fine when you changed batteries?

MikeDMine started to loosing date/time aswell When changing battery fast it dont occure, but when i leave camera without battery for more than 30 seconds its gone :/
I had remove the screw but it ddint solve the probem (can i use camera safely without that screw?).
Is there any way to repair it at home? Coin cell is soldered and so small than i can have problems with chainging it :/
The camera is very got overall but those loosing of date/time is messing with my collection of action and familly movies :/
Maybe try re-opening ticket? They used to have online chat...... Good luck with this.My trouble ticket was well-documented, including video of the issue. I mentioned all the various hacks/solutions to this known problem, but was only given the option to return for repair. When I closed my "Trouble Ticket" (#4280), I included the info about defective replacement, but no further response or solution was offered.
Good luck. Hope you find another model soonI'll update if anything further to report, but at this point, I'm just going to cut my losses and use these cameras as hard as I can. If I find a decent replacement/substitute, will probably just turn them into externally powered dash-cams.
