Gemini II battery replacement


 

OK, so I was advised to replace the battery on my Gemini II, and found the replacement instructions to be pretty scary.?



"Also After replacing the battery, Power on the Gemini-2 and set the time and date. Failure to do so could cause the processor to draw too much power from the battery and might result in processor damage."

This looks to be a pretty old site, is there a better set of instructions for this??

The (current) Gemini II these instructions are not necessary. You can put in the battery however you want

Mine is something less than a year old gm811g so I should be good. I think I'll set the time and date any just to be safe.?


 
Edited

Jamie, the new instructions are just replace the battery, I've done it, no more issues
It's just that simple.Every thing is working fine now even if the battery change for me was not nessesary.
P.S. be careful not to bend the little battery terminal on the top.

Jamie,?
It¡¯s a good guess you need to reset time (UT), location, etc., and the correct mount type (!). I really never had Losmandy issues with fresh batteries (~quarterly) and CORRECT parameters. HTH. ?Dean
