Coin battery replacement kits/sets/parts
« on: November 19, 2009, 11:52:27 AM »
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 ;-)

Thanks for all the great replies and even greater pictures. The solution from DJ looks nice, why is the resistor needed anyway? Is it to bypass the charging current when the machine is "on"? The solutions from Amigakit and the guy from Hungary on Ebay don't look that nice and flat on the board.

I'll check with Tahoe if he can solder them on for me, the only question that remains then is where I can find DJ to order some of those nice battery kits.

Earth calling DJ ;-)

Well, if I look at this picture it indeed looks like a diode (glas thingie), http://www.amigaworld.de/hardware/lithium-batterie-modul/

Sent him an email and now waiting for his reply, it does look like a very neat solution...
