    Clay, can these be used in Stern Whitestar games and where would you mount the holder and jumper the wires?

    Quoted from soren:

    I've read through this thread with great interest. But it seems unclear what the expected lifespan of a CR2032 is. I am to advice a guy who would like to get rid of the AAs in a WPC89 game. But reports here of CR2032 to die within 6 months I will consider af no-go.
    What is the general experience? Is it rare to see them die off that fast.
    Also. This game will be equipped with new CY62256 RAM. Which is praised by the manufacture as having super low standby power consumption. And I am sure it is atleast as good as the original RAM. But, the datasheet does not mention the minimum voltage requirement (oddly enough). Any experience?

    I did all my Bally/Williams games about 2-3 years ago. I got some cheap CR2032 on eBay. They lasted 2-3 years. I looked at the expiration date on the ones I installed and they were expired.
    This time I bought some on amazon this time. I ended up replacing all of them with the amazon ones since they were expired.
    I was replacing the AA batteries every year. Now I don’t worry about them.

    Just curious: why do the lithium batteries in Stern SAM games last so long? I bought Spider-Man new in box and have not needed to replace it.
