Z-Edge Z2 Date Resets

[jalenholm]

I've got a (pretty old at this point) Z2 dash cam and the date won't stay programmed. The camera sat unused for over a year but now that I've got it fully charged again, the date still won't stay set. I've already replaced the lithium battery pack and I don't see one of the button batteries anywhere that I could replace. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum jalenholm.

The things you see are probably due to the little RTC battery failing, if your camera are a full lipo battery based camera it could also be that which are failing.
The RTC batteries are usually very small, not like a watch battery or one in a remote, probably not more than 1/4" in diameter if not smaller.
