On my DFX i made a few custom programs in the EEPROM programs i used in 2009 for the winter ill keep the battery's out of the machine just wondering after a long time with no battery will the Programs revert back to factory settings if they do its no biggie i have new programs i want to try in Spring ? Thanks for any help Jim
 

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

Thats great thanks .Jim
 

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.
