Title: S-2000 502 Board Will Not Accept New Battery ???
Post by: erbs on December 16, 2013, 11:38:38 PM
S-2000 machine w/502 board. No green battery. Machine works fine with battery @ 2.80v  Went to change battery to coin battery w/ holder 3.22v and I get no display and red led on mpu blinks. Put old battery back in and machine works fine. Strange, any thoughts on this one.

How about the new battery without the holder?

I don't have any new solder in batteries, just coin. I have always replaced the original yellow battery with holder and coin battery and never had any problems. I did try another holder, same problem.

Double check your polarity

Flip your battery over. P.B.

I do have the + and - correct. I just tried another coin battery that was 2.84 and got the same results. So I do not think it has anything to do with the extra volts. For some reason the board doesn't like the coin battery I guess???

You must have a multimeter, remove the board from the tray and take a reading on the back side of the board. ( I think you will get a better reading on the back side ) And NO the added voltage will not harm anything, I use the old stock of 3.6 V battery's left over from the S+ days.

I was referring to the battery holder maybe being in backwards

I did have a used yellow battery on another board that read 3.20. So I soldered it in and the machine works. I tried 2 different new battery holders and batteries still would not work. These are the same holders and Panasonic batteries  that I always used. The board must not like coin batteries???

Can't be the battery, it will have to be a polarity issue. Other than how they are attached there is no difference between a clip in and solder in battery. Have you checked your battery holder for a short? Could be bad

can you post a pic of the non working coin battery and holder mounted on the board?

I already have the other yellow battery soldered in. I have replaced many original yellow batteries with the holder and coin battery and this is the 1st time running into this. If I get time in the next day or so I may try to figure this out by putting in a 3rd holder and checking volts on the back of the board as Buss mentioned. Thanks and K+ to all for your input, I will let you know what I find out. Ed

Got it working with the coin battery. Apparently the coin battery wasn't making contact. I use a thicker battery br2325 w/ 560ma so I have to bend the + tab to accommodate for the thicker battery and I didn't have it bent enough.  :25- :25-   Thanks again for the help.

the correct battery holder for the type used in the S-2000  can be purchased at Mouser Electronics.

Made by Eagle Plastics:  part # 122-2523-GR    23mm thru hole black holder.     .78 each.


Hope this helps

well now you got me scratching my head  :103-

I use a BR2330  COIN cell battery    3volt,  255mah,  23.0 x3.0 mm,   fits that holder like a glove.    :89-

you said you use a BR2325   WHICH IS A  3 volt,  165mah,   23.0 x2.5mm  should be loose in that holder     :25-

a CR2354   IS  a 3 volt,  560mah,   23.0 x 5.4 mm     should have to force it in to that holder.    :30-

To use the CR2354  you need to bend the + tab so that the battery goes in straight and not end up on an angle. I use a small needle nose. I use these because of the higher mah so they last longer. The one in question I hadn't bent the tab enough so it wasn't making contact.


CORRECTION,  A few posts back I posted the size as br should have been cr.
