John, please keep us up to date,


I certainly will. I have some samples of a very similar lithium cell
- the CR17450E-R - built into a battery pack which I could break up.
These are the laser sealed version with a glass-to-metal feedthrough,
intended for high temperature high reliability applications. I will
probably have a look at my 'scope next week. It might be interesting
to see whether it retains its calibration if I do a hot swap of the
battery.
