Keyboard computers (400, 500, 500+) • Re: Pi 500+ which RTC battery?

RESOLVED!

I took the "dtparam=rtc=bbat_vchg=3000000" cut and paste from a vendor's site and saw the same in several other places. The "=" between "rtc" and "bbat" should be a "_". It's odd because I did not see it pointed out here in the couple of threads or on the reddit thread (as far down as I read). The "=" had been looking odd to me but I didn't question it too much.

The proper line in /boot/firmware/config.txt should be:

Code:

dtparam=rtc_bbat_vchg=3000000

Code:

sudo timedatectl

reports:
Local time: Fri 2025-11-21 20:17:30 EST
Universal time: Sat 2025-11-22 01:17:30 UTC
RTC time: Sat 2025-11-22 01:17:30
Time zone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no

Code:

cat charging_voltage
shows:
3000000

And the sysfs files are where they should be.

Does everything look right?
