I'm looking at the battery on this thing now...
What's on there is a little watch battery clip containing a CR2032 battery. There's a diode of some sort connected to the + lead of the battery clip.

Is the 3V+diode equivalent to a 3.6V battery somehow? -zip-The leads are too short to get a real good solder joint. I could solder long wires to the board, and connect them to the battery clip (perhaps on a small board of its own). If I do that, is the 3V sufficient, or should I look for a 3.6V lithium disc battery? Alternatively, I think I have a 3.6V NiMH barrel battery I could use directly on the board.
The "lithium hack" (CR2025,3032,etc + a diode) is sufficient to provide "almost" 3V to the board. And coin batteries don't leak (
barrel batts do!). :madashell:
I've lost an A1200 acelerator, thanks to a barrel battery. :pissed:
