CTB16PC - How long will it retain unit id


GS

Recommended Posts

Mine were off since last year and still had id, so I am going to say until you reset it or until you have a major issue with it.

A reset does not change the Unit ID (everthing else is cleared except the Unit ID)... As far as retention, as I recall from the microprocessors specfication it should be 20 years.

(Goes off to set an iPhone reminder to reprogram mine in 15-19 years ) :);)

Sometimes I wonder if they just make those specs up. I particularly like it when they say things like non-volatile RAM will last for 200 years or whatever...
