Coin battery replacement kits/sets/parts

[quarkx]

I'm looking for someone to replace the empty hole in my two Amiga's (3000 and 4000) with a nice LiIon coin battery with holder. I've seen kits advertised on Ebay, but from the pictures it doesn't fit great and leaves the coin cell battery at an angle on the motherboard. I've seen pictures with the holder nice and flat on the board.

Is the kit sold by amigakit one that fits OK and flat on the motherboard of the 3000 and 4000?

Does anybody know of any good kits for sale or have part number that I might be able to find at an electronics shop or online store?

Also, I'm looking for a very good soldering guy or girl in the Netherlands. Doesn;t feel too good to go to just any regular electronics repair shop, I'd like someone who has experience with Amiga's ;-)

First, the best kit out there is actually here from member DJ Base. They are esthetically good looking, fit any Amiga motherboard perfectly and flat.
I know, I need to oder a dozen or so more from him
The "kit" sold by Amigakit is not a kit, but just a battery holder (that you can get at any electronics store), you will still have to solder a resister to it. Make sure if you order from them to get the BLACK ones, as I have gotten the white ones in the past from them, and they didn't fit anywhere near anything Amiga. Luckily, with the superb service from Matt and the crew, they replaced the (Very) useless white ones with the normal Black ones without any questions.

Also, be aware of the Ebay guy selling the kit for $10 USD. It may be a fine kit, but it doesn't hold a candle to DJ Base's kits. Here to Canada, it was actually less to order them in from Germany then the US.
Below are the pictures from my A2000, A3000, and A4000. you can see how good it looks.
BTW, the batteries are the easiest project to tackle if you have no soldering experience, I am just learning to solder and they were a good test. there are step-by-step picures on my blog on how to replace batteries for the A2000,A3000,A4000 and even an A510

Where does DJ base sell his kits?

I just PM'ed him here on the board, and he sent me a paypal invoice etc. I think he has an "offical" website, but IIRC it's all in German. He has other great stuff too. I got an A1000 "kick Start" board, so I can put in a A2000 Rom and not worry about Kickstart disks. I still haven't put that together though- too many projects, so little time.

There are a ton of other threads on this, just do a search, DJ base usually responded in each one
