Thank you very much for the information.

As per your advice I removed the card. I see a Round Cylinder that I assume
is the case for the battery or batteries. (Nothing else seems to even
remotely resemble a battery.) It is covered with what I will call a shrink wrap
white cover. The cover is hiding what is underneath. I can't clearly tell if this
is a simple case holding batteries or this is a battery. I can make out a
connector to the board that goes under the shrink wrap and terminates at the
top. I assume this is one connector. I tried to remove the shrink wrap cover
but felt resistance and was afraid I was doing the wrong thing. I could try to
desolder the entire case (or Battery) but thought you might know if I should
remove the shrink wrap and replace the battery or batteries inside the case or
desolder and remove the entire assembly.

Again thanks for your information. I really appreciate it.
Barry
