Title: WPC coin batterty mount
Post by: Pop Bumper Pete on November 21, 2022, 06:20:21 PM
G’day, I am wanting to add a coin battery holder to my WPC-95 MPU, (not skilled enough to solder a socket for NVRAM)
Any suggestions on how to mount it?

The easiest option is a battery pack from jaycar mate all the button battery mounts I’ve used have been fidly or need a hole drilled
