I just picked up a Super Off Road 2 player cabinet with a Track Pak pcb. The battery is still on the board, no corrosion/leakage thankfully.
I've done a fair amount of searching here on KLOV and I've read alot of conflicting info. Would really like to try and figure this is out definitively.
1.) I understand the PCB will operate without the battery, but I'm assuming that it will not save and game settings (along with user data as well). Is that correct?
2.) If I do need to replace the battery, is this a rechargeable battery and is there a charging circuit that needs to be disabled in some fashion on the board?
What is the easiest/preferred method for doing this and what kind of battery replacement have most used. I've seen TNT videos where they are using a coincell + holder. I've seen comments about using a three cell pinball style holder and mounting it off the PCB.
Would really appreciate any sound advice/pictures/etc. that owners of the game could give.
Thank you!
