Title: How to install battery in ACA card?
Post by: runequester on January 12, 2012, 04:55:16 AM

I have an ACA 1230/56. What is needed to add a battery to it, for a battery backed clock? Any soldering or?

Back in the days where AmigaKit provided a kit (https://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1006) it had the following:

ACA 1230 Real Time Clock Upgrade Kit is a Real Time Battery Backed Up clock chip and coin battery for the ACA 1230 Accelerator (https://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/)
Clock chip and battery can be installed onto the sockets provided on the accelerator.

Package Contents:
(https://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/images/bullet.jpg)   OKI M6242B (Or Equivalent) Clock Chip
(https://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/images/bullet.jpg)   CR1220 Coin Battery

So you only need the Clock Chip (if you don't have already) and an CR1220 battery :)

ah nice. I had looked a while back and it had shown out of stock.
 
So no soldering needed then or? This looks like it just slots in. What about the battery?

As Whitesnake would put it just
"Slide it in!"
So just insert the coin battery in the coin slot and you're set :)

No soldering involved.  Just push the chip and slide battery in.  

Thank you.
