    EEPROM retention is typically about 40 years, so you're fine.

    What Jim says, EEPROM's are essentially like a USB stick, if your familure with them, and anything put into
    them stays in them unless you overwrite the saved data or your machien fry's and happens to take
    the prom with it. Some proms can be erased if you open the box and they have a protective sticker
    on them~ UV erases this type. My two cents.
    As long as you keep dropping coins I'll keep finding them.
