Hi, The ‘low battery’ light on my M102 seems to be a bit overactive lately. My 102 has 32KB and the Rex installed, so I expect my batteries to drain quite a bit faster than the 20 hours in the specs of a less upgraded 102. However, the light sometimes actually is on when I just inserted fully charged batteries (I’m using brand new Duracel 2500mAh rechargeables).
I’ve by now also bought a universal AC adapter, which seems to work fine (though it only powers the 102 if the plug is kept horizontal enough, so I need to check on the contact of the sockets I think). Even then the light seems to be active. I suspect that this is caused by low power in the memory backup battery, but I have no way to validate this. But it feels like this might be the problem, as after my newly charged batteries are inside the 102 for a while the light seems to dim (until the batteries actually drain). Does anyone know if this could be the case? I have recapped the 102 (seemingly mostly successfully), I had also replaced the original battery but the cheap Chinese battery turned out to be actually worse than the original, so I put the original back which got the 102 to actually work again). I’ve seem that Arcade Shopper has replacement batteries but as I’m in the Netherlands the shipping cost will be higher than the cost of the battery itself ;). Does anyone know a good replacement that I could get more locally? Cheers, Erik
