***This is the all new PRO BLACK EDITION battery board. It's dual battery, dual diode design simplifies operation by allowing you to get longer life out of your batteries. Two batteries in parallel will share the load. The dual diodes will prevent a weaker battery from drawing down a stronger one. If you prefer you can also run just one battery, when it's time to change it out you pop a new one into the empty holder then take the old one out. No more worrying about losing your hard earned high scores or your preferred game settings.***
Say NO to battery corrosion damage!
This is to replace your leaky AA batteries with a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. It is a direct fit part and 100% compatible. It preserves your games original functionality. Hundreds of pinball and arcade video game logic boards have been left permanently damaged due to battery acid leakage, don't let battery acid damage destroy your favorite game!
This is an original design with the following features:

NvRAMs are another option, they aren?t always the simplest or the most cost effective. For one, they don?t preserve the function of the Real Time Clock (RTC). While it?s not a necessary function for most games, I believe that most collectors want their games to function as designed. Also not all RAM chips are socketed making installation more difficult. If the RAM is socketed, it could still have acid corrosion or be worn out and not hold the NvRAM tightly. NvRAMs can and do fail. I understand batteries die, but they are much simpler and cheaper to replace.
Another option is remote battery packs. To me this is the most ridiculous solution. When the board has to come out for service you either have to disconnect it meaning all of your settings are going to be lost, or you?ll have to work on the board with a battery pack flopping around. And if you think a remote battery pack is going to save you from acid damage, it won?t. It will only buy you time. I have seen several instances where acid has traveled up the wires.
