Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I Decided to experiment and left in unplugged for six hours and it
still retained internal memory. I still went ahead and installed the
battery mod described in previous posts.

It has a very high capacitance (millifarads or greater).  It  stores
enough charge to serve as a battery for a while for the patch  memory.
 The caps fail after a while, though.  I had to  replace the cap in
mine after I got it.  Now it holds memory fine  with no batteries or
power source connected.
