Hi,
okay I looked at the first Memory again, removed the new battery and desoldered the wires.
Also gave the board a good clean and coating of solder flux.
Re soldered the battery, but this time with longer wires, so the battery is now outside the housing.
Charged and programmed.

Its working.
Did a quick test on Friday night, everything good.
Left it switched of for 36 hours and checked this afternoon.
Working perfectly.   :biggrin:

Hi Jörg,

I opened up my Märklin Memory's and found something very interesting.

The first one is a Version 3.0 built in 91 I assume and looked similar to yours with the exception it does not look bloated.

Now that I opened it I suppose I can toss the Warrenty, but.....

the ultimate test will be to test it.  :eek: :eek:

The more I look at the battery pack the more I see a curve.  ???  :(

The I opened the second one and I saw the following and I am completely stumped.  :o :o

Is it a  capacitor? Comments please.  :biggrin:

Hi Werner,
very interesting a Gold cap instead of a battery.
Should last nearly forever.
Looks like the battery has not leaked any acid out yet, but I would definitely desolder it and
place it outside with wires so that the circuit board can't get damaged.
