Re: How to get lithium battery changed

2009-11-07 by got_hatchet

In an earlier post Message #469:

Anyone plan on replacing their Kawai SX-240 battery...one website :
www.solarbotics.com
I got a new battery ( 3.6V 170mAh Rechargeable Ni-Cad battery ) from
them for 0.75$...I dont think any other place can beat that.
I just snipped the leads off the old battery,soldered the left over
leads from the main board onto the battery with wires,and stuck it
inside a D size battery holder that I secured to the inside with
plastic ties.My battery showed no signs of wear whatsoever even tho it
was from 1984(stamped on it) but I thought I shouldn't chance it.
Make sure after replacing the battery you leave it on for 3-4 hours to
get it fully charged.
Keep these synths alive,a beast disguised in a kawai.

Anyone know of any reputable repair shop that will do this service for me?  I am a bit afraid of damaging the synth as I do not have much experience repairing electronics.  If anyone has any place in mind or simple instructions, please let me know.
