Can anyone help me locate where to buy a cpu battery for a Electra Pro system. It is soldered on the board.

I do not work on NEC a lot so my suppliers are limited.

Thanks

Any company that buys and re-sells refurbish phone systems usually will sell you the battery or tell you what company to call to purchase one.

I find replacement batteries locally at any good battery store. You want to get a 3.6v 60mAh nic-cad battery with "legs". Be absolutely sure it is ni-cad and rechargeable.

Be especially cautious when soldering onto the CPU... ensuring the + and - are facing correctly. And what ever you do .... DO NOT DRIP SOLDER DROPPINGS onto the CPU. That is very, very bad for the CPU. I learned this the hard way.

I soldered one once.....while it was live and running so I didnt loose programming.
Not recommended but I used to always have issues with the old SAT verisons for Electra's so was not able to always do a backup before powering down.

Thanks guys, I was able to find one locally and will install it tomorrow.

Remember that unless you solder it on with the system up and running you are going to lose all your programming.
