Reminder: Check your battery!! Your Amiga may be dying!!!

This should probably be the headlines of every Amiga site every day! Every single Amiga that I cross paths with, which is quite alot in recent times, has a fuzzy battery! Almost daily I see posts/emails from people who have damaged or destroyed motherboards.

Good new auction

Naah not really, I'm just about sold out :-D

Faulty capacitors? Possible in general electronics, but with Amigas I have seen so many leaky batteries it isn't funny

Get a 2-AA battery holder and solder on a mono sub-mini plug to the wires coming out of the battery holder.

Hmm the last time I checked 2 AAs in series would be 3V not 3.6V.  I guess with tolerances it would probably work, but you'd better install a diode inline:-)
