Is this lithium battery good to use on a SE/30 board?
Posted by: keropi6k6 on 2020-12-11 00:40:57
Hello, can someone please verify for me that this 3.6v 1/2AA battery is good to use with the SE/30?

- or maybe something better exists nowdays?

thanks!

Any 3.6v 1/2 AA battery will work fine.

I'm relieved that on my recent SE/30 purchase the battery (Maxell dated 89-10) managed to stay intact all this time. Replaced it with a fresh SAFT battery from Amazon.

Lucky you!
The Maxell's are the ones that usually go boom!
The Varta's usually survive the longest.

Yes, I sure dodged a bullet with that Maxell battery! I'm now cleaning up after these leakers. So far I've not seen any corrosion yet, just some gunk.
