If you have the trickle charge mod done, I dont see how you would be
losing memories unless the battery was totally dead and you lost power.
Seems strange since I know of no other reason to lose them. My best guess
is the battery is shot. I have found that the the optionla boards do seem
to affect the battery life but I dont have the voice board in my unit.
