Removing the green battery from an IGT s2000?

[ItsaSlotMachine]

Thanks, that makes sense now

[cowboygames]

The green battery is strictly there to let the casino know if the game gets messed with while it's turned off. It powers telltale alarms connected to the casino computer system

That makes sense, I didn't know that the telltale alarm was connected to the casino's computer system, I thought it would set an alarm off within the machine if someone tampered with the machine with the power off

[cowboygames]

That would take a much bigger battery

No real alarms. The green battery allows the machine to hold in it's memory "time  stamps" of what and when something was done to the machine when the power is off.
Things it records: time and date when the main door was opened,  same for cash box door, cash box removal, etc.
 In that way the casinos could go back to their camera systems for those times and find out who was there. All of that type of data really is useless for the home owner, and we know the batteries leak and ruin hardware, that is why we recommend removing them. I do not agree with " keeping the machine as close to how it was in the casino"  The machines are for enjoyment and in the end I would much rather have a functional machine the a non working one that you can say is "Just like it was in the casino " That's crap especially if you install a TITO system, those were never in the casinos either but if you want the "casino ticket in" feel you install them.
For me I want my machines functional for as long as possible and removal of that nasty green battery is the first thing a home user should do.

I agree with you and that green battery is so useless for a machine that sits in my house, I don't plan on installing a TITO system because they seem like a lot of work due to needing to get new printer ink and paper

[qbert]

No ink, the tickets are thermal paper. TITO is a good addition and if you get one for each machine the ticket from one will work with in the other.

Now get on with it take that battery off!

[ItsaSlotMachine]

That is so cool, I didn't know that I thought it was ink based all along And I'll get the battery out

[ItsaSlotMachine]

Guess what? I removed the green battery

[cowboygames]

Good job! As far as TITO goes, it's rather simple to install, just requires a working printer, bill validator and clear/key chipset. Look at bettor tito sold from bettor slots listed on the homepage. Personally I don't give a crap about redeeming tickets, I like the ability to add a hundred credits by pushing the service button on the player panel. There are lots more options available also, like adding credits and controlling other features from your phone or computer

Thanks, I may consider one someday and I want to thank everyone who has helped me removed the green battery <3 All of your help has been very appreciated And it's such a great feeling to have that battery out of there
