Question:
Does the SW3088 have a battery for memory backup?
Answer:
No, they do not have a battery. The firmware and settings are held in the flash EPROM. The object inside that looks like a battery is in fact, a button with the unique serial number of the unit. This is detachable because there are plans in the future to be used as the decryption key for copy-protected software, and can be swapped between units in case of a failure.
