1/2 AA battery Replacement! MoewToast Rev. 2
Posted by: reddrag0n on 2023-05-28 05:04:08 yeah, i tried but these are just a little too high and with the holder soldered on, it wont sit straight. will post pics when i can
Posted by: croissantking on 2023-05-28 05:06:37 It fits, but it’s very loose even with the holder - I had to use some hot glue. The meowtoast concept is really nice, but it could use some tweaking so that its fits in more snugly.

Posted by: croissantking on 2023-05-28 06:27:53 I got confused by the advice from @reddrag0n as I didn’t realise there was a different version made by siliconinsider. The meowtoasts definitely don’t lay flat.

I have both and they are different.

Posted by: Renegade on 2023-05-31 13:05:48 Is Silicon Insider's variant suitable for the Mac II/IIx ? Given that the two battery holders are clamped side by side...
Posted by: volvo242gt on 2023-05-31 15:44:36 Is Silicon Insider's variant suitable for the Mac II/IIx ? Given that the two battery holders are clamped side by side... I suspect not. On the II and IIx, I'd be more tempted to mount two AAA battery holders to the case and run some lithium AAA batteries.
Posted by: macuserman on 2023-05-31 15:50:05 Is Silicon Insider's variant suitable for the Mac II/IIx ? Given that the two battery holders are clamped side by side... It’s tight but it did fit in my mac II side by side.
Posted by: volvo242gt on 2023-05-31 15:51:32 It’s tight but it did fit in my mac II side by side. Good to know.
