Our Bad Cats pinball machine thanks you for your video. It was very helpful.

Thanks for this video! This did the trick to get rid of the obnoxious "adjustment error" after turning the unit in. I had a bad battery holder, but I was lucky and my board was not damaged.

Thank you for posting the video. My Fish Tales had battery damage and I was able to remove the old holder, clean it up, and install remote batteries. Should be good to go for a long while.

Perfect. What did you use to cut out the old holder? I have to do this to my Big Guns. I'm not a professional, but I did manage to remove, repair and fix a drop target bank, so I think I can do it if I have the right tools. Thanks!

Just out of curiosity. Why didn't you just leave the original battery holder on the board and just solder onto the holders legs that are going to the same points on the motherboard?
Then you could still bypass it and move them, but you also leave the board as original as possible for potential buyers down the road.
Sure, smart new buyers should all want this done, but some people are very anal about things being as original as possible.
It couldn't have hurt.

Because the original battery hold was acid damaged and we are all about keeping the machine alive down the road. We want to get the batteries away from the board to avoid acid damage to the board. Preference is yours.
