Korg Poly61 Battery Replacement
2013-02-09 by spiral
Hi all! New to the forum and the Poly61 so please excuse my ignorance. I bought a Poly 61 and I've been reading about problems with corrosion due to battery leakage and I'm interested in replacing it once the unit comes in. Is this what I need?: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2726949&prodFindSrc=cart It's the 3.6 volt Ni-MH. Syntaur also has this Lithium one: http://www.syntaur.com/4447.html But I want to do the least amount of soldering as possible b/c I have very little experience with it, and I don't even know what diode is. This may also be a dumb question but are the tabs on the battery made of solder? or will I need to buy extra solder to mount the battery to the board? Also, Is the Ni-MH battery a one for one swap?? Hope this isn't confusing! Thank you, Spiralex
