Replacing the Battery
The battery in the ION8800 meter keeps the real time clock running when
supply power is lost. Replace the battery if the meter has been stored for an
extended period of time without power (longer than two years). If the meter
will be without power for an extended length of time, disconnect the battery
cable so that the battery maintains its 10-year shelf life.
The battery can be changed when the meter is either powered or
unpowered.

Replacing the battery on an unpowered meter resets the internal clock and
may affect revenue parameters.
