Sx-240 Battery

Sx-240 Battery

2007-06-25 by MadjacK

Anyone plan on replacing their Kawai SX-240 battery...one website :
www.solarbotics.com
I got a new battery ( 3.6V 170mAh Rechargeable Ni-Cad battery ) from 
them for 0.75$...I dont think any other place can beat that.
I just snipped the leads off the old battery,soldered the left over 
leads from the main board onto the battery with wires,and stuck it 
inside a D size battery holder that I secured to the inside with 
plastic ties.My battery showed no signs of wear whatsoever even tho it 
was from 1984(stamped on it) but I thought I shouldn't chance it.
Make sure after replacing the battery you leave it on for 3-4 hours to 
get it fully charged.

Thanks Madjack, is it the 3 pyramid or 3 stacked batteries? BattR5 - 3.6V / 170mA Stacked Rechargeable Battery... You are a great help!
