How to replace the date/backup battery on the EOS 1Ds Mark III

Solution

The date/time (back-up) battery maintains the camera's date and time. Its service life is about 5 years. If the date/time is reset when the battery is replaced, replace the back-up battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery as described below. The date/time setting will also be reset, so be sure to set the correct date/time.
Set the power switch to <OFF> and remove the battery pack.
  • The back-up battery is on the ceiling of the battery compartment.

Remove the back-up battery cover.

  • Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw and remove the cover.
  • Be careful not to lose the cover and screw.

Remove the battery.

Install a new back-up battery.

  • The plus side of the battery must face up.

Attach the cover.

For the date/time battery, be sure to use a CR2025 lithium battery.
