| + | 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: {{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).) | ||

| + | |||
| + | To make the switch you need the following tools: | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #10 Torx screwdriver for the 18 black screws on the rear, (don't use | ||
| + | the small angled Torx tool delivered with the Orion, it'll drive you | ||
| + | insane) | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #1 Phillips screwdiver for the four large screws on the side | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #0 Phillips screwdriver for the 14 (I think) screws holding the front | ||
| + | to the main chassis | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll also need a suitable tool to extract the Snaphat battery, it sits | ||
| + | rather tight and can't be pulled by fingers only. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The trick is to power up the radio once you have taken it apart and | ||
| + | positioned it for the battery switch, once the boot is completed you can | ||
| + | safely pull the old battery and fit the new one, while at it, I switched | ||
| + | the CR2015 battery in the tuner as well, mostly to avoid the risk of age | ||
| + | related leakage at some point. | ||
| + | Now you can turn off the radio again and reassemble everything. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (N1EU note: Peter's method of replacing the battery with rig powered on will prevent the loss of rig configuration settings) | ||
