greetings,
I 've opened up my Poly MKI just recently (one key went out) and found 
on my suprise clearly marked place for battery. large symbol (sized 
1:1) with two solder points at ends. i was thinking about placing a 
backup batt earlier, had read that article in files section, but just 
stopped thinking about it, until now. so, if there's anyone familiar 
with the issue, i'd like to know are these solder points actual battery 
hookup places (there's a mark + on one side of the symbol), or should I 
stick to the procedure described in forementioned article ("+ to joint 
of D1 and R1..." etc)?

Didn't see a reply to this one, sorry for late reply, haven't checked this mail
account for a while...
Yep, those pads allow a direct solder for adding a backup battery.  Very
straightforward.  Can't remember the details for what type of battery etc., but
looks like you already have that info anyway.
So yeah, just solder one in!  ; )
