Re: Impending cache battery pack failure

Thanks Rob, Chad, et al on the FAQ.
Just a clarification This will be a Do it Yourself procedure so do I understand that I have to force the failure first, using SST (or DST) in order to make sure that the change is "registered" (my term)? IOW, I first force the failure (while in a restricted state) and THEN replace the battery pack?
Just want to make sure. I was just in DST but I couldn't see an option to force the failure and the help on BATTERYINFO was non-existent.
Just hope my local Radio Shack or battery place can match the pack. Plenty of posts here about that. Didn't see a specific reference to a model 800 (controller is a 5703) but it looks like the battery pack isn't all that hard to match. 

Thanks,

Pete
