| Performa 575 PRAM battery connector (and question) | |
| Posted by: mraroid on 2015-07-25 16:10:18 Hi folks.... Can someone point me to a link to buy the correct PRAM battery connector for a Performa 575? I am looking for the connector that connects the PRAM battery to the logic board. Or, if you happen to have one for sale (with wires or wires and a dead battery) that would be cool. One more question.... Can someone tell me the mAh rating of the original PRAM battery? I would like to build or buy a PRAM battery that is rated at a higher mAh rating than the original. Thanks in advance! jack | |

It had three rectangular 1.5v alkaline cells in it. 3 alkaline AAA batteries in a holder would make a suitable replacement- I would be inclined to place/install this outside of the computer as forgotten alkaline cells just love to leak. | |
| Posted by: Floofies on 2015-07-25 18:00:31 The Rayovac 840 uses a 3p2c (3-Positions, 2-Contacts) pin header connector, with the leads connected on the two outermost contacts. It could also be described as a 4-position connector, but there's plastic filled into one of the holes so not really. This should work for you: https://www.futurlec.com/Connectors/HDCONNS4.shtml http://www.ebay.com/itm/25x-Dupont-Wire-Jumper-Pin-Header-Connector-Housing-1x4-Male-Female-/131221943350 Just be careful with the polarity. Also, be sure to get the crimps that go into it as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141446678863 | |
