Question
Could you tell me the function of each battery on an Elgin Chime clock does? There is a C batter on the back of the face of the clock, and a AA battery at the base of the clock. Which one regulates the chimes? Thank you in advance!
I'm not familiar with your specific movement but generally the battery on the clock movement (the box that the hand shaft is attached to) is the one for the time. My guess is that the one at the base of the clock is for the chimes. To double check this, remove one battery and see if the time or the chime stops running.
