This is a remote AAA battery board kit for vintage and retro computers with external battery headers on their motherboards. Works with most motherboards that require 3-to-6 volts.

Includes cables and batteries!

Designed, assembled, and tested in the USA by PC Restoration

Features:

Uses common AAA batteries
Longer life than CR2032 batteries
Remote board means no leakage will occur on motherboard
Uses standard 4-pin battery header
Safety diode prevents reverse charging
100mA fuse protects motherboard if a short develops (spare fuse included)
High temp nylon fuse holder contains fuse blast and glass for added safety
Can be mounted with dbl sided tape, velcro, or M3 hardware (M3 hardware included)

Why is this better than hacking in a CR2032? CR2032 batteries are only 3V. Once you use a safety diode, that drops to 2.7V. As soon as the CR2032 voltage lowers with use, your vintage/retro PC will lose it's time and settings. CR2032s do not provide enough voltage for old systems. This battery provides ~4.5V, and AAA batteries have 3x the capacity of CR2032 cells.
