Someone brought in a board from a Bally slot  to our shop.  Slot doesn't work, and I determined the battery was dead.  Seems pretty simple so far.  The problem  is that I don't know what version of Bally slot it is, so i don't know if there is any reset or clear procedure I need to do before it goes back to the machine (I'm taking it back).

I tried doing a Google Images search of Bally slot boards, and didn't find one like it.  I tried to draw a simple pic of what it looks like.  it is rectangular and was mounted on the left inside wall of the slot (if I remember correctly).  It has a small board mounted onto the main board, and the battery is on that board.  the battery is one of those that look like a AA battery with solder tabs, like was seen on the late 70's pinball MPU's.

Here is the crappy drawng.  The white box is the battery:



The battery is this type:



Does anyone know the model?  And if there is anything that needs to be done after replacing the battery?

this sucks, not even knowing the name of the slot.  I just know the board says Bally on it, and it's at work.  I really need to know something by tomorrow...


PS:  I tried searching for every post about Bally and Battery, but nothing.  Nor did I find pics of Bally boards for ID purposes...

Looks like the board out of a Bally E1000 series slot.
If so the battery is a nicad and the machine needs
a couple of hours on to charge the battery.

1000 series - thanks.  I can put a fully charged battery on it.  Does it need any resetting done once I reinstall the board?  or will it work right away?

And one of the chips says E-1226, if that makes a difference.  the board is a P 2948-401 AS 2978-3 and the battery board is a P-2948-304 AS-2979-1...

The battery for the E1000 series has to be a rechargeable nicad
because there is a charging circuit to keep the battery charged.
Most of the time it will reset but there is a "Zero Clear" chip for this board.

Thanks.  I should have come back and mentioned that I replaced the battery with a rechargeable and installed it.  Everything is working good now...
