If the rechargeable battery dies, will the PIN and / or data be lost? Will it work normally without the rechargeable battery?

That is a very technical question well beyond my ken. I have never had a battery failure with this brand in three years of use

You don't lose data but it has to be charged to unlock it. And that's part of its safety security of this product. data cannot be unlocked unless it's charged.

I do not believe it would work after the built-in rechargeable battery stops working. Use the following link to verify with the manufacturer: https://www.apricorn.com/contacts.

it will retain memory when changing batteries. you have to turn off then change. i use recharge batteries and never have memory lost.

No. It has memory the data. How much time, I do not know whether valid, but it had been unplugged about 24 hours, it was all right.

The battery is low and it is about to go dead. Anyway that is what happens to mine. Hope that helps!

Regarding the questions about "battery" backup. I just spoke with P3 tech support. No, there is no battery; yes, there is a memory chip installed which stores recorded data. So no worries about leaking batteries...

Unfortunately, this model does not have a battery back-up. So if you turn it off it will reset to the default mode. If you think a bright light will kill the mood imagine a bright light along with the loud announcement of: "You Are Trespassing!!!!" Scared me to death the first time our power failed. There are other similar models that do have a battery backup so that it will not reset/loose any video when the power is cut. Good luck!

I have changed my battery many times without any data loss. I have two batteries which I sometime have to change in the middle of a recording and only looses the time from satellite disconnect to reconnect.

No. It will slowly drain the battery. I have several of these, and store them disconnected.

The unit gets charged when attached to a computer. I assume that the internal battery will permanently fail someday, but mine has been through many recharge cycles while plugged into my computer and it still functions. I guess when mine stops working, away from a computer USB port, I will toss it and buy another.

You're right, the battery is soldered to the board and not directly replaceable. The battery is rechargeable so it shouldn't need to be replaced really, however, in my testing so far it looks like it's not actually connected to the 3.3V supply. So it will just die after a few days and become useless. It's a surface mount battery so you could probably remove it fairly easily without risking any damage. (Definitely a pin that should have been broken out to the main header for external access, along with PPS)

It does not plug into the pins. It only plugs into the speaker jack. The speaker is rechargeable but it dies not recharge the phone

I've used in many different applications and have never had it die on me. So I don't have a number to answer with, but i think this will give you an idea.

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

Completely dead? If it is broken (dead) no, ... otherwise if the battery is completely depleted it will work. This has happened to me a few times. It also recharges very rapidly, ... about 2 hours for a full charge.

No, Plus, there is no place for a battery backup in this switch. If you lose power, it is out just like a conventional light switch. When the power comes back on, the switch should reconnect to the wifi.

if you unplugged and left it for a while, probably an hour, it'd reset. I don't know how long the battery last, but it does have some kind of backup

No battery backup as the other responses indicated already. It's worth mentioning that there is some sort of memory function so that it "remembers" the temperature setting when the power does come back on.
