Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I've been nerding out programming presets in my CZ 101 and It came
time for me to move it to the jam room. I only needed a battery box to
install the 4 AA mod I found on this website, and only a few of the
patches I installed were good, so I pulled the plug. Over a half hour
later I plugged it back in and my patches where intact. I'm wondering
if someone could have upgraded the capacitor or installed and internal
battery backup. Has anyone heard of this? Or was it just an anomoly?

The CZ-101 has a memory back-up capacitor in place of a battery.   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.

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.
