I have a MV-1 PCB the battery has green gel coming out the negative end can I remove this and still use the board till I get a new battery replacement. Also what are the specs of the battery and whats the best replacement for these. Thank you.

Neo Geo MVS works just fine without a battery. The only difference you will notice is the need to re-do all of your softdip settings every time you turn it on.
The tutorials at JAMMA Nation X : http://www.jamma-nation-x.com/jammax/tutorials.html show you how to do a battery mod to replace the worn out ni-cad battery with a Lithium button cell. Chose the MVS link on the left and then your model of mainboard.

Well I looked at the site it seems rather extensive but doesn't have the MV-1 the MV-2F is the same type of battery just not sure about the rest thinking I might go with a super capacitor as it looks less dangerous. Just hoping to get more feedback as I don't want to screw this up.![]()
Well I ordered the battery from them and now I need to pull that battery before it does some damage.
Use a small pair of cutters and just cut the legs off. It's the easiest way to remove it.

Are you sure this isn't the glue used to hold the battery to the PCB?
I will post a pic of it before I cut it but if its glue that is the first time I have ever seen that color.
It's semi-transparent, it picks up some of the green from the PCB.
Yes... that's from the battery. It will eat the traces on the board and is nasty...
