Had my IJ4 for 4 years and CSI going on 3 years. I changed the battery in both for the first time today. Both still working fine, but decided to change along with the other pins. Anyone with new sterns change theirs frequently?
They use the same batteries as MK3 boards and such. I believe my MK3 is still using its original battery just fine. I'm a cheap ass, so I'd probably check the voltage every couple of years, but not change it unless it was out of spec. I changed my TSPP and BSD over to Ultimate Lithium AA's, too. Hoping this will elimate having to change them yearly as a precaution.
what is the typical recommendation for changing pin batteries? i have a big get together every year on the first weekend of march madness....big pin/poker shindig. i have been trying to change them every year at this time, but sometimes i simply forget.
