Title: Where is the battery
Post by: jay on January 20, 2014, 04:47:40 AM
I have a number of progressive controllers older LED4 & LED5, they are no longer holding their programming for more than a day when the machines are off.

Which component is the battery ? that holds the info......

I don't think I've seen one of those in person, but I'd take a close look at the green-wrapped circular thing -- could that be it?

I agree with Knagl...that green wrapped cell is a NEC 5.5V battery and it's positive (+) pole runs straight to
the 1st leg of the 4 diodes and 100 ohm resistor.
It's negative (-) pole runs right to the blue capacitor next to it.

Upon looking at it some more...it just looks like a cap?
Now you've got me wondering where is the battery too?

Here's a link to a similar .22 farad 5.5v green thing on Mouser.
They call it a "Super Capacitor"...>>>
