OBERHEIM SYNTH

Anybody know?

? I want to say that it's a CR2032, but I can't recall for sure. I replaced mine about 4 years ago, and I have a hard time remembering yesterday. One thing I do remember is that the battery is soldered in place. The actual battery has tabs (pins) that solder into place on the circuit board. I bought a battery holder so that next time the battery is replaced no soldering will be necessary. It was a tight fit for the holder though. I think there was an IC in the way making the holder sit a little crooked instead of flush with the circuit board. It worked out fine though.

?I also spent a fair amount of time looking for Matrix 6 schematics online, but the file I found only indicated "lithium battery" .... and no model number. Grrr...

I guess the only way to know for sure is to have a look under the hood.

?Good luck,
?Andrew

Anybody know?

i wanted to put a new battery in my matrix 1000 recently. i took the
top off and it is indeed a cr2032 (not sure if it's the same in the
matrix 6, but am guessing so). the only problem was it was impossible
to get the old one out. i am presuming it is soldered in place and i
have no way of getting it out :( 

anyone have any tips on removing the old battery in a matrix 100?

?It sounds?like the Matrix-1000 battery has non-removable tabs that are soldered in place, just like the Matrix 6.

?If that's the case, you'd have to get the circuit board in a position to where the battery can be desoldered and a new one soldered in place. A battery holder would be nice so that next time the battery needs to be changed, it can be done without soldering.

?Here's a battery holder:
