DSR 410 Battery Replacement.

[kb2kir]

I need to replace the battery in my newly acquired 910.
I can find no procedure on Sat Guys .
The 922 has a cylindrical battery, and the 910 has a button cell, so the procedure for the 922 will not work.
Any ideas?

 

[Mr Tony]

I was not aware of a 910

you mean 920?

 

[Lak7]

920 has same battery as 922.
Maybe 905 or 410?

There is no 910 that I ever heard of.

I don't know why I typed 910....(Duh)

The 410 has a button cell.

Time to change topic - just edit your first post here.

Perhaps you have a couple seconds to replace it, the are capacitors what should hold voltage for a few seconds.

 

[Mr Tony]

only mods can change title after X amount of time

changed title

Yep, it's got a button cell.
Any one ever see the procedure posted anywhere ?

im going to check the battery in my 905 since its 8 years old what should be a voltage threshold i need to replace it at?

 

[Smith P.]

3V or less; nominal is 3.6V

I highy recommend changing the battery after recently losing a 922 to a battery shorting out a destroying the board.I bought another 922 and set it in for battery replacement.As I was told about every 6 years.

 

[Smith P.]

I wouldn't take the "6 years" as gospel - there are different batteries and some of them lasts three years at best (I'm based on 20+ years experience with computer motherboards ).

The battery is only being drawn on when the unit is unplugged. Life can last pretty long as long as it's been plugged in and away from excessively hot environments.

 

[Smith P.]

I wouldn't agree with you - those PC's batteries works in different conditions include 24/7 runs and cold spaces.
Life is full of variations, so don't try to procrastinate it in someone's boundaries.

My Videocipher battery is still good and it's 16 years old. I kept it plugged in and in a cool environment. But then I knew the whole life of my unit. If you buy it used you have no idea of it's previous conditions. Then I would say change it ASAP. Usually lithium's are good 10 years under ideal conditions.

There is more scientific/engineering approach - measure Vbat while the receiver is not powered. No need to guess about history of the box and last time of the battery change.
