| Oct 22, 2017 at 14:21 | comment | added | user9643 | @Salmononius2 Read the article linked in the comment above yours. That should explain why (at the very least) it might be muktzeh. | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 14:18 | comment | added | Salmononius2 | Why would it be Muktzeh at all? Why is this different from a digital wristwatch that also has a battery? One is allowed to view the time on Shabbos. (Note that I'm assuming this is a standing clock. If it's a clock that hangs on the wall, there is an unrelated issue of hanging stuff on a wall, which is not related to being an electrical appliance i.e. it's forbidden to hang a picture on a wall) | |

| Oct 22, 2017 at 3:09 | comment | added | DanF | If you leave the clock alone, I can't see any problems. I don't follow what you're planning on doing with the clock and what the concern with the backup battery is. | |
