[unix-pc.general] replacement battery in 3b1

tien@speedy.cs.wisc.edu (PB Schechter) (07/20/88)

I need the replace the battery in my 3B1.  The dead battery is a 3.6V
lithium battery, that is soldered (!) in place.  I remember someone
discussing this some time ago, but can't find the discussion (if I
saved it).  I'd like to avoid de-soldering, and would like to install
a battery holder to avoid soldering, as well.  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to the procedure?  The current battery is made by
Tadiran; searching through my Newark catalog, they are the only ones
to make a battery of the right size and voltage--for about $7.50.

Thanks for any help.  Send e-mail, or post, if you think this is of
general interest.
