You can do it yourself, it's easy.
Open carefully your synth (plastic case...), the battery is located on 
the motherboard near the back side and looks like a coin or a metal 
button. Remove it from its socket (carefully again), replace it by its 
brand new sister, close the case and that's all. Then you can perform 
again a "factory reset" and store your own sound files at will with the 
editor. Please notice that the battery has a polarity (!) : the "+" must 
be upside, the "-" is the bottom of the socket. If i remember well you 
cannot go wrong with it, as both sides don't have the same diameter, but 
be careful. There are a lot of these small backup or clock batteries, 
with different sizes and voltages : buy exactly the same type. Doing so 
you can save 1 hour of maintenance tech... and you can see that the AN1x 
case is mostly...empty. ;-)
