Re: PRAM batteries...

[Bob]

I just replaced the backup battery on my Wallstreet and it had 6
modules, although I don't remember the ID number.

Well, lift yer Pismo's keyboard (Lombards are the same BTW) and lookie 
fer yerself . . . :-)  Yep, 4 cells in those. For once (well, twice) 
Apple made it _dead_easy_ to replace a pram batt.

Wallstreets' pram batts have 6 cells each. Even at Digikey (or similar) 
prices a 6-pack o' VL2330s ain't exactly cheap. If you have other similar 
pram packs around, say from _any_ PB from Duo on, you could test 
individual cells and reuse those what still have a good charge. Just a 
thrifty thought. :-)

Cripey if it makes you feel better though, you should see the GigE G4 
PB's pram batt, it's a whole freakin' expensive-looking charge-PCB with 
_lithium_ion_ cells!

From the service manual, the Wallstreet looks like it has 6 or 8... I 
don't want to tear down my Wallstreet(s) right now to confirm, so does 
anyone know?  How about the Pismo?  It looks like 4 or so...

The local Batteries Plus doesn't carry VL2330s, so I have to special 
order them (and prove to the disbelieving sales clerk that there IS a 
rechargeable 2330 - VL2330 - at 3V and not 1.2V).  Needless to say, I 
don't want to spend an arm and a leg ordering more parts than I'm 
going to use!

Peace,
Drew

PRAM batteries...

[Andrew Kershaw]

I have a question about PRAM batteries...

I need new ones for my Wallstreet (two, actually) and Pismo.  The 
question is: "How many VL2330 cells are in the modules?"

From the service manual, the Wallstreet looks like it has 6 or 8... 
I don't want to tear down my Wallstreet(s) right now to confirm, so 
does anyone know?  How about the Pismo?  It looks like 4 or so...

The local Batteries Plus doesn't carry VL2330s, so I have to special 
order them (and prove to the disbelieving sales clerk that there IS a 
rechargeable 2330 - VL2330 - at 3V and not 1.2V).  Needless to say, I 
don't want to spend an arm and a leg ordering more parts than I'm 
going to use!

Peace,
Drew
