Title: Battery Replacement
Post by: oldtimer on June 23, 2008, 12:22:39 PM

Does anyone have the part number for the battery to replace the one's on the circuit board.  Also, is there a DIY for replacing them?  thank you in advance.

I did mine about a year ago, and the number is on the side of the battery. I know that doesn't help you much, but the batteries are sold on e-bay for about $7 each and you need the 3 pin type. For what it's worth, you really don't need to replace them if you can remember to change your oil on a regular basis.
