Cuttle Cart II battery

[mvigor]

Do you think it's a good idea to take the battery out of the CC2 when putting it away to store it for a year or 2?

If you are treating this lovingly crafted piece of hardware as an investment, and you have no High Score Club scores to save, you probably should. Since it's trickle draining to preserve the RAM's contents, though, I otherwise wouldn't worry about it, just like you don't worry about the battery on your PC/Mac motherboard that keeps the time for the PC's clock going.

 

 

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

A piece of paper in the socket might be the best way. Then you wouldn't have to worry about misplacing the battery.

Erm... High Scores are dependant on the battery?

 

That stinks... I hope my battery never dies!

Thanks everyone.

 

Am I making this up or doesn't the CC manual show you how to change the battery without losing high scores?

 

Edit: Yes, I think you have to power up the CC in a running machine with the case off and carefully swap the battery while it's running.
