A2000 Revision 4 - Amigakit?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Well that's unique!  Nice to see one in such good shape.

As long as the voltage is the same I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work.  As far as which pins to connect it to, Google search other pics of your motherboard?  Here's one I found real quick, zoom in it seems to show which set of pins to use:

Do neither of the two sets of pinouts mate up with the AmigaKit coin cell replacement?  Good luck!

The answers to the question the OP would have asked if he was smart enough, I suppose, and didn't just want to replace his battery.

Maybe he wants to keep it all original?  Bugs and all?  :lol:

Um, guys? The rev 4 German model A board *can't* be upgraded to a higher revision (short of replacing it completely). The model B rev 4 is a completely different design.

I knew about the Agnus with the German design, but none of the other mods people have suggested are applicable, either?  D'oh!!  :lol: :lol:

I still believe my "mod" is feasible using elements from quantum mechanics once the Compton Effect is neutralized; it merely requires a paradigm shift from 4 dimensions to 6, provided the Theory of Relativity can be used without regard to mass.

Dan, when you dip off to the 6th Dimension, can I have all your Amiga's?  :lol:

Trippy.

there must be someone who has a revision 4 board whom can clarify if the original varta batteries had more than 3 pins?

I'm telling ya, they didn't, man.  What possible use could more than three pins serve?  That's why I linked to the picture way back in my first comment.  Just Google search pictures of your motherboard.  It appears that C= Germany, in their infinite wisdom, provided two different sets of pin holes for two different types of batteries.  The question was, does the AmigaKit battery adapter not match up with either of these two sets of holes?

Here's a couple more pictures for you that I google searched.  You can clearly see that there's two different types of batteries installed - one using the lower holes, one using the upper holes.  But I'll eat my hat if you can find a picture of an A2000 motherboard with all six freaking battery pins all connected.

Two layer board, no traces on the bottom?

Just a side thought, but you should be able to just "plug it in" (or probably honestly you could just press the battery into it's holes, just for a temporary connection), and measure the voltage at the pin on the clock chip or at the resistor with a multimeter.  I had to do this on mine (had some issues with battery damage).  Granted I haven't looked at the specs at all, but I assume at least the clock chip is the same on the German motherboard as on the standard?  Purpose of this test is to verify that you're getting voltage at the correct location.  Good luck!
