DS1307 and battery problem

Hello,

 

I have 2 x DF1307 gravity modules and I got the same behavior with both of them connected to a ESP8266 :

 

- When the CR1220 battery is not inserted,   the DS1307.begin() function is returning true, and time is moving forward. - When the CR1220 battery is inserted (with the + on the top)    the init function is returning false and time is stuck at 0.

 

I am missing something ?

The working voltage of the DS1307 is 5V. I think this is more like a bug if you power the module from the 3V3 PIN of ESP8266.

Measure the battery voltage. Check if it is giving 3V or not.
