<p>You can get newly manufactured ST NVRAMs (M48T02, M48T08, M48T48,
but not M48T59) from proper distributors such as DigiKey and
Mouser.</p>
<p>A lot of the "new" ones on eBay have pictures clearly showing a
1995 or 2000 manufacture date, although a lot of the sellers seem
to equate new with unused, which doesn't help much with batteries.</p>

<div dir="auto">Yeah, there is a guy on YouTube who kept buying
several of these eBay "new" NVRAMs until he finally gave up and
broke out the Dremel himself. I was thinking, what do you
expect, anything new will already be dead too since these
batteries don't last 25 years or more. A lot of people don't
want to see how the sausage is made.</div>

I found the above when a customer sent in some NVRAMs for
rebuild last week. Hot garbage if you ask me, especially
considering the price tag.<br>
<br>
Save and rebuild your originals!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
