Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi,

Yes, do check the mod that CJP suggested. 2 x3v cells? As long as you stop
it being charged by the supply voltage (resistor and diode mod) then a
single lithium CR2032 cell in a holder will suffice for well over 5 years!
Check carefully what you have done and use a DMM on the low resistance range
to make sure there are no low resistance paths to ground or short circuits.
Sounds like you batteries were partially or dead shorted.

Cheers,
Andy
