Can you post a picture of how you installed it?

Well, originally you connected both wires to power so that is why your batteries got hot.
Try moving the one with the black wire to the middle, leaving the red wire on top.
If that does not work, then move the red wire to the bottom, always leaving the black in the middle.

pos (red) should be bottom right and neg(black) solder it to the neg test point on the cpu, Top right of batt holder. How many batterys are in the remote holder there should be 3 in the holder. Why are you using a remote holder in the first place? If your holder is as good as it looks no need for a remote holder. Waste of time and money if it is not needed, Batts take years and years to leak. The leakage you see on some machines are 10-15 years with same batteries in them. Look around next time, there are alot cheaper battery holders out there 17.00 plus shipping is outrageous for a batt. holder.

Horrible, horrible, disgustingly awful advice. Don't solder anything, these are no-solder remote replacements. Batteries don't take years to leak, hell some batteries are leaking in their packages in the friggin' store before even being bought.

Get the batteries off of ALL boards, there's no reason to risk the damage.

OP-You bought a Bally/Williams holder and are trying to force it into a DE holder. Notice the need to actually break the dummy battery unit? Why would you think that would be normal?

Both white dowels go in the same direction, to the right as your picture, but the positive goes on the bottom, and the negative goes in the middle. You're lucky you didn't start the game on fire.

Pretty stupid to say it horrible advice Borygard this is Straight from marvin repair manuals data east, so must not be that bad of advice hey. These batt holders are way to much money and you can solder these did many of them data east and system 11 bally Williams so on, Just add a connector so it can be removed if repairs are done to the main pcb.. Soldering is a much better way then the cheaper wood rods. The ground can be solder to any of those grounds you have but the test ground is easier to get to with the original holder on there and the positive bottom right and the groung in the middle or to your test spot. Just trying to pass on advice and yes it from marvin3m pinball manuals>. This is an attachment of another one out there this is from pinwiki so they all do them the same, If you can solder this is the best way for a good connection to the batts., borygard must be the only one with such great advice NOT.

> so must not be that bad of advice hey.

Those repair guides were for people who wanted to learn to repair to games and were skilled..
Knowing how to read schematics, solder, use a dmm, ..

The op probably doesn't know any of these (or he wouldn't have asked the question in the first place) and bought no-solder battery packs.. so he just needs to know how to install them.

Then he should just put batteries back in the original holder then. Man I was just trying to help I will stay clear then. Who cares how you put the batt holder in then. There is that better?

Here is a picture to make it easy for you
Just separate your dummy batteries and install here
