Default battery has been disconnected since November, just reconnected it and

radio did not need unlock code and it saved all my station presets.

this is sool, but why?

also when car is locked, radio does not blink its little red light, instead I get a red blinking light by/on the hazard flasher button. could this be why I don't need the code? but how did it save my stations?

Internal lithium battery like most computers use to save the CMOS info.

Default Dave's got it down. Depends on the size of the battery and the current being drained.

I know at Dell we build 'em to last 6 months.

Default 11 years is a hella long life, yup. The ones we use are non-rechargable and the mainboard doesn't

have any means of recharging them if they were . Although they do have a limited life span, in almost every situation they outlast the life of the computer.

Default NO. The code has never been set in the radio, therefore no code is required.

I had one like that.

I was talking about the saved station presets, not the code.
