FT-411

My FT-411 has lost it's internal battery so every time I switch it off it loses it's programming. My eyesight doesn't allow me to work on these things anymore.
I am wondering if anyone could help me replace the internal battery.
I have the service manual on PDF.

I can have a look for you sometime if I can get hold of the radio. Do you have the battery too?

The battery is a 3 volt cell from Jaycar.

If Jaycar don’t have the cell, Bunnings have a surprisingly good variety of lithium 3v primary cells.

According to the data sheet it is a CR-2025 Lithium battery. I will see about picking one up next week when I go for my tests at the hospital.

Denys VK3 ZYZ replaced the battery for me, but it hasn't fixed the problem. Does anyone know where else to look for this problem?
