I just replaced the batteries from my newly acquired Stern Quicksilver, from a remote battery pack. They were corroding already even though they said they were good until 2013. Making me think I now need to spend a some time to go through all my other machines.
Quoted from tracelifter:All batteries now are junk, I have had new ones that were leaking in the package.
All my games get remotes on long leads and I never change them unless they go dead, the newer the battery the bigger the chance they will leak.
Holders are cheap, if they do leak cut the holder off and toss it and solder on a new one.
Way cheaper and easier than 60 new batteries a year and if you get a bad batch you now have a bunch of leakers all at once.
Actually, I was incorrect. The batteries said 2017!
I prefer the capacitor mod for the older games. If I lose a high score because the game is not turned on in months... oh well, I guess I really didn't care.
