Re: [korgpolyex] Re: Mk 1 battery life Q

2 months? Maybe that's why my patches are already toast.
What's the difference between a cr2032 and, say, the slightly larger battery found in other old synths, the latter of which would last many years?

About as long as the batteries would take to loose charge if they were
being stored in a desk drawer.

I have no idea but I am going to take a guess for entertainment
purposes. I say 2 months. Someone should set it up and we can make a
game out of it, like guessing the amount of jellybeans in a jar.
