Have a Bally's ProSlot with a code 81 "Battery Voltage Low" error.....seems pretty straight forward just replace the battery on the board. Anything else you guys can think of?

Thanks very much.....so in general how long would you say they last???? I like your solution because this is for home use so obviously it isn't going to be on 24/7 ie in Casino.
No Clear Chip needed for this model?
Yea, I was thinking the same.
May require a memory clear after battery replacement

Ok thanks guys....how would I know if it need this....I imagine if I'm still getting the same error. Also how do I clear the memory? Thanks.
Ok found the manual and looked through it....I didn't see that I needed a clear chip just a bunch of sequences to preform either a Complete, Full or Partial SAFERAM clear.
If I try to power it up without doing a clear and just swap batteries will this have any negative effect on anything. I installed new battery this morning.
Good point. Some Proslots do need a clear chip to clear ram, some don't.
Luckily my Proslot 5500's don't need one.

I have already installed the new battery should I attempt to clear the ram first or just power up and see what happens?
That will solve it.
If you leave it powered on for a while it may charge the battery to the point where the machine will run.
I believe the battery is only needed for memory retention when powered off, but when voltage gets low the machine will not boot, it will give you that error.
I replaced my onboard battery in one of my machines with a switchable remote battery holder with a blocking diode. That way I can change the batteries out, no soldering, if they get low.

I have one of these machines with the same error. I have went through my manual but it does not tell me how to do a clear ram... can you tell me how you cleared your ram? I would greatly appreciate it.
Some S5500s don't need a ram clear after battery replacement? Never ran into one of those..
I had over twenty S5500s, all required clear chips after battery replacement. These machines will also kill the battery in a year to a year and a half (they suck). I install remote battery setups on these so the battery can be swapped out while the machine is on(without pulling the mpu tray), so ram clear won't be required in the future. I also use a higher mAh "AA" sized 3.6v battery so it lasts longer before it croaks... Search on NLG there is plenty of info about these slots and their battery eating ways....For comparison, an IGT S+ slot's battery can last over 20years..
Fyi, don't let anyone charge you more than $12 for a clear set..
