Hi all,
I have a Gold Card which has the discontinued 40LF220 lithium battery. The
equivalent MGL0025 is also discontinued, and even with the long shelf life
of these lithium batteries, the new old stock ones are now useless. When you
can find them, they were manufactured in 2002 and cost $30+ - one place
quoted me $140 for a minimum order of 5, plus shipping.
Is there a ready-made adaptor PCB available that will allow me to use a
CR2032?
Does the Super Gold Card use the same battery?
If not, I would be happy to design and manufacture a limited run of these
adaptors to use CR2032s so we can all have our battery backed clocks working
again. I cannot make a guess on price as I have not looked at the cost of
short-run PCBs recently.
I would be happy to send batches of these to traders in each country at cost
price.
What is the need/demand for something like this?
I am sure that would be popular. I keep getting asked about these
batteries. All my GC/SGC batteries are dead, but (of course) my systems
use the Minerva clock.
Is the CR2032 man enough though?
Tony
