 ====== Orion Battery Replacement ====== ====== Orion Battery Replacement ======
-//(info provided by Russ K3RH to the Orion reflector, 2/13/2012)//+**From the Ten-Tec Reflector August 3, 2009** 
 + 
 +The SNAPHAT battery pack is available from Ten-Tec ($10 + $6 shipping) and Digi-Key ($8.19 + $8 shipping). ​ I'm just not sure which version is used in the Orion the 48 mAh or 120 mAh (T-T didn't specify). ​ It looks like both will plug into the same socket the only difference is height with the 120 slightly thicker. 
 + 
 +I'm about to place an order with Digi so I'll probably go that route.

 +The Orion'​s battery is shown in the 565 Version 2 firmware mod documentation for:  [[http://​tentecwiki.org/​lib/​exe/​fetch.php?​media=orion_v2_logic_mod.pdf|Orion V2 Logic Mod]]. 
 + 
 +The battery is visible in the picture labeled Step 6.  The battery is the Yellow rectangular block "​snapped"​ onto the IC on the left of the photo.

 +I will be ordering the larger battery made by STMicroelectronics [[http://​www.st.com/​stonline/​products/​literature/​ds/13125/m4t32-br12sh.pdf|M4T32-BR12SH1]].  ​(Pay particular attention to section 4.4 and care with applying too much pressure inserting the battery and the use of a DIP extractor tool to remove the battery (Figure 4).)
