Hey Frank !! Thank you for the instructional video. I love these battery boards, I Installed one in my Addams Family & Harley Davidson game, and just got your boards in from TNT for my Williams Fire ! , Terminator 3 and Twister. This is such a nice and neat upgrade, I didn't like the remote battery box hanging by the lead wires with AA Batteries. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for all the great info.
Thanks for sharing. Do you know if there's a reason to not use AA NIMH rechargeable batteries like Eneloop? I've heard they don't have leaking issues like alkaline, but maybe there are other issues?
Games that use AA batteries won’t charge due to the blocking diode that’s there to prevent the game from charging the alkaline batteries. You could theoretically install rechargeable batteries and replace the diode with a jumper or resistor but you may have to play with resistor values and possibly add other components to make sure the batteries don’t get overcharged.

Another great video. You have a new subscriber.
Great little tutorial as well as some troubleshooting battery issues. Thanks, will be ordering one tonight!
Can I use lithium AA batteries and not have to worry?
You can but what happens when later on someone puts alkaline AA’s back in because they didn’t have lithium’s on hand? It’s happened before.
That will be after I am dead since only I touch my pinball electronics. I could marker a note on it too.
@@Chris-go9tithen you have nothing to worry about. Do whatever works best for you.
