why are there four battery holders ???

@finkmac was going to use 4 x AA lithium

The original batteries are 3.6V - would this not be feeding ~6V into each position?

Edit: Looking at the wiring I've been trying to figure it out. Are they just extended off motherboard soldered points instead of some series wiring? Dolphins are quite the choice for this, very security alarm installer.

why not just use cr2032s

@Compgeke you're absolutely correct I would be coming in 0.6v under (2 x 1.5v). For some reason I thought I read somewhere this configuration would work but was a while ago.

Each pair of AA's is directly wired into the original holder terminals, no series.

@finkmac yeah I might need to go that way

Also if you're going to do this, why not put the battery holders outside the case. AAs can still leak.

you're making my IIcx blush

I definitely don't want the batteries outside my plan was to use an external SD-SCSI and mount the batteries where the HD normally sits. Will probably do same but with coin cells now. Thanks for all the input guys!

@luRaichu I do love the Big Boxes, now need an original Mac II to complete the trio!
