Randy Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Does anyone know the battery type used in the TT, newer models? I thought it was the same as the Mega STe, a Tadiran something. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMotorola Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 When I bought my TT 20 years ago, it had these two Panasonic C-cell batteries taped together and connected to jumper J40. I have never taken them apart to see exactly how they are wired. I imagine you don't need anything fancy to power the internal clock (my ST's Forget-Me-Clock uses a CR2032 watch battery). Most people seem to use battery holders that take either two or four AA batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) It is a Tadiran (Part no. TL 5242/W) they were still making these about ten years ago, not sure about today though, you should be able to find a clone though.

If that's the case, it looks like Digi-Key has plenty in stock for $10.99 USD. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/tadiran-batteries/TL-5242%2FW/512528? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
