Re: Mk 1 battery life Q

2009-01-08 by scott frye

Most synths use either a CR2032 or BR series 3 volt lithium.
I've changed out both styles. These last for years due to the mini-microamps the memory draws when not powered.

The biggest issue is that older batteries NEED to be replaced before they leak on crucial circuits.
If you dont ,there's either a BIG repair bill or a dead synth like the SIEL units I've tried to fix
