Fairlight-CMI

Hi Malte

Here is a link: http://store.batteryspecialists.com/tl5135.html

The exact type is: TL-5135
I did a search on google for battery TL-5135.

It's okay to remove the battery without putting in a new one. Only date and time will not be correct, but the CMI will work just fine.

Don't wait too long with removal, since it may be leaking......

Kind regards,

Peter Kersten.
