This is the best CR2032 CMOS hack I have seen! Well done! I have not seen anyone use a heat shrink tube sideways for isolation, and then tuck the conductive tape inside the little pockets. Neat! I saw a guy from Argentina use a small piece of isolation tape to isolate between positive and negative terminals where the connectors meet the battery. I did the same. But here you have isolation between the terminals going all around the battery, which is even better in case the wires move. I didn't have a heat shrink tube in the right size, and I didn't have a conductive tape. I pried away the connectors using a precision screwdriver instead of a knife with a snap-off blade. A word of advice: you better watch it so you don't cut yourself when using a knife as a prying tool, especially one where the blade is so thin and designed to snap. I then flatten out the metal connectors with a combination pliers and then used needle pliers to bend them in at the tips to create hooks. I picked up this trick from the guy from Argentina. These hooks go against the battery terminals to creates more volume for a tighter fit when you wrap the isolation tape around. So I just finished it off with isolation tape, with maybe three wraps around, making sure I cover all the surface and no part of the battery is exposed. I later had to press in the hooked metal connectors underneath the tape using combination pliers again, to flatten out the battery pack, because it was pushing up from the board too much and didn't make good enough contact with adhesive pad. I used Tesa double sided adhesive pads to hold the battery in place on the board. But you Sir have the best idea for a professionally done CR2032 CMOS battery pack! I will borrow from your ideas next time.
Yo! do you not have a volume or mute option? but i agree the music is a nuisance IF you don't have one of the 2 standard options. you can even mute a page. it's 2024.
I had no idea this was a possibility. Wow. Makes me reconsider throwing old tech away, when I can just repurpose it. Thanks much for this technical info! Can you please list all of the supplies in your upcoming vids, so your viewers can source them? Thanks much!!!
Do all laptop cmos batteries with a cable and connector compatible with each other? I bought a used samsung r522 but doesn't has a batt. Motherboard has a cmos batt connector. Thanks in advance.
@@SpiderFix let me ask one more please. I have one batt from eee pc (3V-2032) and can connect it to R522 motherboard easily. Any more detail to care? For ex, rechargable batt posibility? Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much for your comment I appreciate it thank you a second time
Hard to concentrate with the loud stupid annoying music.
Thank you for your remark I will take this remark into consideration on the next videos I will try to change this music if I can
@@SpiderFix No music is needed to get the point across..

No my friend each manufacturer chooses the type and model of the battery especially prefers a small battery
