Title: Replacing batteries in Bally alpha 2 v22/22
Post by: fewpheonix on January 12, 2018, 06:14:32 PM
Got call attendant message - turn operator key and message says nvram battery 1 and 2 are low on my bally alpha 2 v22/22. I know everyone suggests changing all batteries at once (1 on backplane and 2 on cpu I’ve heard). What are these batteries called (are they all the same)? Where can I buy them (link)? How do I replace them, where are they located? Any help appreciated! Thanks folks!

Note and unplug everything from your mpu/brain box, remove,  You will see 2- horizontal thick batteries in the holders-CR2477N,  On the backplane -Back of cab on green board you will see a button cell batt. in a chrome holder-top middle-remove and match up-forgot that #.  You can buy these batteries at a lot of places.  After replacement you will have to clear and re-install your game.  Good Luck.

yea, e-bay or anywhere that sells batteries. It's pretty easy to find them. The thick ones are kinda costly but if you by in bulk-cheaper.

For the record, after you replace battery, you can just use a clear 360 and re-setup game.  No need to re-install.
