Larger deployments should talk to OLPC for large quantities of this spare part.
Smaller deployments won't be able to afford the MOQ. -- There is only one recommended battery model number; ML1220, also written as ML-1220: https://octopart.com/search?q=ml1220 (first two pages of search results) Plenty available from multiple vendors, with reasonably low MOQ, just make sure you get the right packaging, or be prepared to replace the holder as well. On an XO-1, to trade-off part cost for labour, get the cheaper battery with PCB tabs, solder wires to the tabs, cover in heat shrink, remove the holder from the main board, solder the wires to the board, and anchor them with an adhesive so that they don't pull off the traces. Alternatively, it might be possible to solder to the battery holder contacts. Use an adhesive to hold the battery down so that it doesn't bounce around; because by bouncing around it will break the wires eventually. -- To trade-off longevity of repair for labour, add a series shottky diode and a larger format battery (e.g. ANSI 5029LC) that won't be recharged by the main board because of the diode. It will need regular replacement. On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 03:55:47PM -0400, Adam Holt wrote: > Does anyone have recommended RTC battery model number(s) handy for XO-1 and > XO-1.5?
