DB150s don’t have a battery… David B
David, Yeah, I realized that, not to long after I posted. But I was no were near a computer, to make a change until now.[:$]
I change the cmos battery in our 2 club DCS commands stations at least once per year. They would probably last years but for the $4 /year total cost it’s really not worth the chance.
At home, I pull the plug on the power strip and leave nothing powered. Fire scares the heck out of me ven though my clocks, televisions, computers, etc are still plugged in. Plus it keeps my wife happy.

Hi!
I also have a Digitrax Super Chief with a second controller, 8 power districts with circuit breakers, etc.
However, that has nothing to do with my answer to the OP’s original question.
When you leave your layout for any extended period of time, shut the thing down. There is no reason good enough to warrant leaving the thing “on”, and risking the possibility of a disaster. Sure, the chances of that happening are quite low, but why take that risk?
It just isn’t worth it…
