Subject: Urgent Battery Question!!!

From: "Mike Walters" <mike@...>
Date: 2003-09-12

I replaced my dead battery on my battery-modified mk1. The battery I
used didn't have solder lugs, so I used super glue. It actually held
up for a few months... But I knew it wasn't a real fix, and the wires
eventually lost contact.

So, I ordered a new 3v Li coin cell WITH solder lugs from Mouser. The
problem is, I ordered the wrong size. I got 10mm, and I probably
should have gotten 20.5mm.

My question is this... If I install this small battery, how long
would it last? Atleast a year or so? I need to use the synth for some
gigs nextweek, and I can't wait around for a new order to arrive
because I'll be out of town. Will this battery keep all the data
atleast 2 weeks?!?

Thanks!
