1/2 AA battery Replacement! MoewToast Rev. 2

[reddrag0n]

yeah, i tried but these are just a little too high and with the holder soldered on, it wont sit straight. will post pics when i can

It fits, but it’s very loose even with the holder - I had to use some hot glue. The meowtoast concept is really nice, but it could use some tweaking so that its fits in more snugly.

I wonder if there are some variations in the battery holder, mine's pretty secure with the clip in place.

People are mixing between the meowtoast and siliconinsider's battery holder. The lay flat thing seems to be for siliconinsider's.

Yes, but @croissantking has meowToasts.

I got confused by the advice from @reddrag0n as I didn’t realise there was a different version made by siliconinsider. The meowtoasts definitely don’t lay flat.

mine have the happy mac pic on them, not the cat face

these are the battery adapters i bought


this is what it looks like when i try standing it up, it doesn't sit right. the battery holder gets in the way


the only way this one works is by sitting flat

You have Silicon Insider product vs MeowToast so laying flat is correct for the Silicon Insider holders. I have both and they are different.

as long as they do the job, i don't care which way they sit

Is Silicon Insider's variant suitable for the Mac II/IIx ? Given that the two battery holders are clamped side by side...

I suspect not. On the II and IIx, I'd be more tempted to mount two AAA battery holders to the case and run some lithium AAA batteries.

It’s tight but it did fit in my mac II side by side.

Good to know.

Check their tindie shop, I think there is another version designed for that.
