divot Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I just ordered a couple of these batteries from Mouser. I have one board that loses its prices when the power is cycled. The tech sheet for those batteries show them as being "popped" out and in. Is that how they are in the G3 boards: easily replaceable and not soldered in?

AZVendor Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I believe they are seated into sockets so look at your boards. Those are timekeeper chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I think the g3 uses the same as this one and it just pops off. But as others said, it may have a drop of glue under it so be careful not to rip the chip off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendo Mike Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 The GIII and Merlin IV boards use the same Snaphat battery. I can't recall if the GII used the same one as well but I believe so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 GII machines should be scrapped anyway. They were all a garbage design of a multiprice 12oz machine with short front columns. It was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBR12 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I replaced mine last Month. It pops off. Putting the new one in requires a bit more delicate touch ...line it up properly or the pins will bend. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
