I got refillable cartridges for my Epson sx230 and just now noticed that chips have small battery behind them. Now I'm wondering what's the purpose of those batteries and what happens when battery runs out? Cartridge stops working? Or does it just stop auto-reseting itself? Or does it always show that ink is full?
If empty battery only prevents chip from auto-reseting itself then I assume I can still use it as manual reset chip by connecting 2 dots on the chip that should also cause it to reset?
