Motorola MOSCAD ACE3600 Data Retention

(OP)
I'm a newbie with the Motorola ACE3600 and have an issue with data retention.  These RTUs have a battery backup but if the AC is down long enough for the battery to discharge fully, as far as I can see...all data is lost.  The CPU lithium battery maintains the program code, but none of the data.  Is there a way to retain some data in these units?  Perhaps I am missing something simple.  The manual does mention optional SRAM for the CPU, but I'm not sure I really need it.  It seems odd to me that not a scrap of data is retained on these.  Thanks!
