Title: Battery Rating for S+ Post by: Magicslots on May 15, 2010, 01:49:18 AM Bought another S+ at a garage sale today... :103- Where the he__ I am gonna put it? :97- :97-
Anyway, MPU board needs a new battery, This will most likely be used as a spare board, and will rarely be powered up. Whats the best (ma) rating for a new battery? I see they are available in quite a few different ratings.. :99- Title: Re: Battery Rating for S+ Post by: MarkInAz on May 15, 2010, 04:47:40 AM Hi Magicslots,
My 2-cents is bigger is better...normally . As you know a higher mAh reading means more current/storage capacity. However, the load on a slot machine memory battery is very little. It is probably better to use a fresh battery, as fresh as you can find. A new but lower mAh rating would last longer than an older but higher mAh rated battery, especially if its gonna be sitting on a shelf most of the time. But here is an idea: if its sitting on the shelf without any Eprom why not just leave the battery off until you need it? OK, not very practical. Well, it was just a thought. Personally- I use what ever size battery I have in my battery box, as long a its a 3.65 lithium. For me changing a battery and resetting everything is less of a chore than mowing the grass for example. Good luck.
