Title: Remove the AA Batteries When Storing Your CPU
Post by: Eddiie on December 27, 2022, 09:14:08 PM

I suggest removing the AA batteries from your CPU if there are any before storing the CPU.
YEah yeah, lithium, won't leak, etc..  I swear I had some that leaked.     Just remove them to be safe.   Remember the IGT IPC Progressive Controllers?  Many were lost because of leaking batteries.

That's like me forgetting every fall to add some STA-BIL to my weed-whacker's gas tank.
Then come in the spring, I'm cursing up and down as it doesn't start up like it used to....  :banghead:  :Tongue_Out:

I can testify that Lithium batteries do leak.
We just got another S+ MPU and backplane in for repair and the battery had leaked down the board and onto the backplane board.
A total loss so we sold the customer another set.
