The battery could be going 'naturally flat' if the machine is not use for a long period,
as the battery aint exactally the biggest either (65mAh) because the machine is designed to be on about 11 hours a day.

Here ya go, get ya soldering iron out...

That's the correct replacement but you could bodge a bigger Ah rated battery on 'fly leads' that holds a bigger charge

Too big and you will risk overstressing the charging circuit.

You have to strip out the mpu from the metal casing.

It'll be different, Bell Fruit yours isn't it?

The board needs to be stripped from case then you will see the battery, simply de-solder it
