In Topic: MPU5 Replacement Battery

18 September 2009 - 01:32 PM

Well so much for Maplins, they not got a clue!

I called them this morning and asked if they had an ML2030 T26 Battery and was told oh yes we have lots of them!

So I drive the 15 miles there to find out they only stock the CR2032 battery! Arghhhhhhhh

I try to explain i wanted an ML2032 with T26 fitting and not the standard CR2032 and was told they only tock the CR2032 and that would be fine. Maybe for around five seconds until it explodes as the CR2032 is no rechargable!

And thats asuming it does not blow up when i try and solder it.

So back to square one again, guess i'm left with ordering one from the link provided earlier. :arghh:

BUTTON CELL, R/C PCB 2032 3V - ML2032 T26 - MAXELL


thats the correct one u need. also avaiable from maplins for around £4 ish


Hey that's great news! I'll get to ordering two of them. :notworthy:

EDIT: You would not happen to know the link to one on maplins website would you? I have spent ten minutes looking on there and i must be blind because i can't find one. :(

Ah ok, fair enough i'll have to whip out the board tomorrow and have a good look.

I can just see the coin cell battery but i'm unable to take any readings or identify how many pins it has whilst in the machine.

As someone once said "i'll be back"! ;)

Don't want to be rude but are you guys sure?

My battery looks nothing like the green one on ebay? I thought the green batteries were rubbish that leak all over the place?

The one's in my MPU5 machines look like this:
BUTTON CELL, R/C PCB 2032 3V - ML2032 T26 - MAXELL

or could be this:
BUTTON CELL, R/C PCB 2016 3V - ML2016 T17 - MAXELL

Not sure if it has two pins or three as i have not stripped the board to look, however everywhere i have looked indicates the MPU5 board takes a 3v coincell battery?

I'm confussed, maybe i'll strip it down later to make sure i get the right one.

Just found this site:

BUTTON CELL, R/C PCB 2032 3V - ML2032 T25 - MAXELL

Anyone know exactly what battery an MPU5 machine actually takes? (Scroll down to see more batteries in above link)
