Coin Battery Hack ... my findings

[MrZoon]

I'm about to try this on a parts machine before attempting it on my two in-use A3000s. Any other advice?

At least one of these machines has some acid damage, but just a little. Is there some kind of stuff I could put on the damaged area to stop further errosion? I'm thinking baking soda, or something like that.

So, anyway, I removed a couple of batteries and tried to affix a little tripod thingy made out of cordless phone parts - figured I could use the rechargeable battery pack - but it never worked (not sure why). So, instead, I just got a utility to grab internet time and everythings fine. One more machine to go, if I haven't waited too long...
