FWIW, I'm finally replacing the still-going-strong lithium battery in
my 20-year-old Icom 735, mainly because it is in the shop anyway, for
other work.
A few years back, an Icom technician told me the current drain is
15-20 nano-amps, and being a 180 mah battery, the estimated life works
out to 600 years or so!!
