Xantrex XW memory retention without power

Does anyone know if a Xantrex XW system: (inverters, charge controllers, and generator start module) will retain it's programing if you remove all AC and DC power from it? I am installing a system with 2 XS4548, 2 XW MPPT80, 1 XS AGS, and 1 XS SCP. The real batteries are back ordered but I would like to get it programmed and checked out. I was going to connect up 4 small 12v batteries to get it running so I can get all the programming straight. If I do that and then remove the batteries and power down the system will it revert to default settings? If it will remember, for how long? Is it indefinite or would it eventually revert to default?

Thanks for your help

    10+ years, as RC mentioned, all the settings are stored in Flash memory which doesn't require power to retain data
