I have a Sharp bla bla bla (dont rember the model. I believe it's like
the 110), and it's made such that you cannot remove both batteries.
So, if you remove the backup battery with the other battery still
installed and with a charge, you won't lose anything. However I
believe the memory in these devices was volatile, meaning all loss of
power meant all loss of memory. the 120 and later, I believe use
non-volatile memory, and the backup battery is to keep the clock set
properly, and some other non-essential settings, and that's all. But
my own memory is not what it used to be, so I'm not sure any more. Too
bad a battery replacement can't fix that! ;-)
