I have been able to change batteries without losing firmware or programs.
Just line the new batteries up in the correct orientation, flip all the old
ones out (it helps to have the +ve end such that your thumb goes to the

old ones so they can't roll into the new set or you lose time figuring which
is which. I have done this several times and not lost the firmware once.
