1/2 AA battery Replacement! MoewToast Rev. 2
Posted by: reallyrandy on 2021-12-15 13:50:55 I have noticed it's difficult to get them to sit straight up without slipping off the terminal. I can see where a bump or jar could knock it off its terminal after the case is on the computer.
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-12-15 22:01:46 These have arrived - DM me if you want me to pass some on to you (cost of Oz post only). Cheers Glad to hear they arrived. I hope you and the others intrested in them enjoy them.

It's almost like they need a little bracket around them to help them stay in place.

It's almost like they need a little bracket around them to help them stay in place. yes I am working on a 3d printed file one can make or have made..., but the 1/2 AA top housing battery click actually should be used to help hold it in place once you have it in.

I am working on a 3d print file for those that don't have that top clip. As a side note once you have it in I haven't had to much issues with it saying in place... I have these in about 20 or so macs I have ...

Overkill alert! Printed part would be nice, but pick up 1/8" a/o 1/16th" at Lowe's or the orange place. Scissors required. 😉 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Keeney-6-in-Rubber-Washer/1082957 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Keeney-6-in-Rubber-Washer/1082955
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-12-27 01:31:31 As some have requested I have made a battery Clip to go with the meowToast Rev 2 and Rev 3 it is a little bit of a lose fit but it works great here are links to it on my etsy store. You can get them here https://www.etsy.com/listing/1148769299/ , and if you want them with MoewToats you can get those here https://www.etsy.com/listing/1134819572/ There is international shipping for both!

Posted by: TimHD on 2022-01-29 18:33:41 For those in Oz, I’ve already got a bulk shipment coming in from @Geekybit - so DM me if you want to reserve some and I can ship them to you at local postal rates. Anyone else in Oz still after these? I still have a few spare for those wanting some (I have shared a few with members on this forum already) DM if you want some posted your way locally,. Cheers

Posted by: james_w on 2022-09-23 02:40:56 Anyone found a way to ship these to the UK without the extortionate delivery and taxes that Etsy wants to charge?
Posted by: mg.man on 2022-09-23 03:11:15 Anyone found a way to ship these to the UK How many are you after? PM me if you'd like - I may be able to spare one or two... 🙂
Posted by: stepleton on 2022-09-23 10:12:43 I'd be willing to participate in a batch buy to the UK!
Posted by: Performa450 on 2022-09-28 04:04:33 Hello, I'm also after a couple of these in the UK too, happy to participate in a bulk buy! Just found this thread as I was looking for one too - the one in my newly recapped Performa 450 is dead.
