Flash memory has a built in 'charge pump' that slowly builds up power to release at a higher voltage than a battery can provide. Therefore a battery cannot provide the sufficient power needed to change the state of a bit in the flip-flop circuit from 1 to 0 or vice versa. For this reason, flash memory has a short lifetime of between ...
