If you own an Icom IC-7300, you may already be familiar with a common annoyance: the internal clock resetting every time the radio is powered down.
This happens because the original internal backup battery is soldered directly to the PCB and will eventually go flat. Once depleted, the radio can no longer retain the time and date settings when switched off.
Our professional RTC battery modification resolves this issue by replacing the original soldered backup battery with a standard CR2032 coin cell battery holder. Once fitted, future battery changes can be carried out much more easily without soldering or repeat workshop visits.
How the Service Works
Once you have ordered this modification, we will send you a Royal Mail return QR code so you can get your radio back to us safely.
Simply package your radio securely, take it to a suitable Royal Mail drop-off point, and show the QR code. Royal Mail will scan the code and apply the return label for you.
The price of this service includes the modification work and return shipping back to you once the job has been completed.
The Solution
Our workshop technicians will:
- Remove the original soldered backup battery
- Install a CR2032 coin cell battery holder
- Fit a standard, widely available CR2032 battery
- Test the radio before carrying out the work
- Return the radio to you once the modification is complete
Once completed, future battery replacement is simple:
- Remove the radio cover
- Pop out the old CR2032 battery
- Insert a new CR2032 battery
No soldering, no specialist tools, and no repeat workshop visit for the same battery replacement.
Key Benefits
- Fixes clock and date reset issues
- Uses a standard CR2032 coin cell battery
- Allows easier future battery replacement
- Professionally installed by ML&S workshop technicians
- Helps extend the long-term usability of your radio
- Price includes return shipping back to the customer

Why This Modification Is Useful
Without this modification, replacing the original backup battery requires the radio to be opened, the old battery desoldered from the PCB, and a new battery soldered in place.
For most users, this is not practical, which means many simply live with an incorrect clock. This upgrade turns that recurring inconvenience into a much easier long-term solution.
