Hi all,
I have this 500 board and am getting a main battery low message. I don't solder nor do I have the tools to do so.
I've read in other posts folks add battery sockets and a new battery. I think I can try to find something at radio shack, but I wondered if someone would mind posting a picture of what the "after" looks like? My plan ( I think) is to clip off the negative side and pull the battery out. What I don't know is what/how folks have implemented a reliable 'after market' battery socket to make this easier next time. In addition I have three other machines with the same issue. These machines have been sitting a few years. If it seems too involved I think I'd be okay sending these to a reliable advertiser here to repair for me. With that, I am reluctant to pop off the Varta battery, though I know I am on borrowed time.
**Slight edit - one of my boards is newer and has a CR2354 battery that slides out. Is anyone aware of a compatible battery either on radio shack or mcmaster.com? If not I will head to eBay. Thanks
Thanks in advance.

Try natteries+, that's where I get my 2354's and they may solder new batteries on your 500's for you too

I use CR2354s on S2000 & I-Game 3902 MPU boards. You can get the batteries and holders from mouser electronics. Part number for the batteries is: 658-CR2354 ($1.67ea) and the holder: 534-1027 ($1.81 ea). While you've got the board out you should remove that Varta battery before it starts leaking and destroys the board. A photo of the installed battery holder and battery is attached.

Thanks a lot folks, I appreciate it.
**Quick follow-up. I got the CR2354 at batteries + and some holders at mcmaster.com (http://www.mcmaster.com/#6961t13/=10cvdn4 (http://www.mcmaster.com/#6961t13/=10cvdn4)). The holders are not perfect, but they definitely work. Thanks again.
