Re: Cache Battery for 170 with 2740 Card

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Like Larry said.  Go to Batteries Plus.  In my case the cache battery 
for our 270 had a three lead connector, unlike the batteries for a 
cordless phone, so they built one in about 5 minutes.  So, shutting down 
the system and walking the battery down to the store is a good idea.  I 
have also gone to a local battery store and they have built me one as 
well. 

$14.39 if I recall correctly.....
