Either part should do just fine. Newark.com has both.
 
The "battery" is not a simple "battery". this thing is a battery, clock and battery backed static ram in a chip form factor. The internal lithium battery is used to keep the clock running and data alive in the static ram when the system is powered down. It's "supposed" to last for 10 years.
 
The system can be wired to use a standard 9V battery to keep it alive during power down situations making the part last "forever" so you don't have to re-initialize a new part. If anyone wants details, email me.

Bill,

Try M48TO2-150PC1, instead of M48TO2-200PC1.

The difference is just 150 ns access memory speed versus 200 ns.  The 200 ns part is going obsolete.  There is also a 70 ns part with number M48TO2-70PC1.  All are OK, because the memory just has to be "fast enough" to support the system it is in, namely the VM1000.
