    Hey everyone, I just posted a new tutorial video on replacing batteries with a memory cap.

    Quoted from ovfdfireman:

    Nice video! One question, will you share the mouser part number?
    I am still using remote battery packs just because I am not sure which capacitor. I searched Mouser and not finding the exact one, any help would be great! Might consider adding the part number to the page as well, thanks

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Here's source info on the caps:

    Also, I did a video on installing regular external battery packs too:

    I recommend the regular AA-based ones for modern games, especially WPC games.
