technical specs battery MPC3000

I am parted from my MPC3000 for sometime.

But I need to know the technical specifications from the internal battery.
Can anyone provide them? (Volt, Lithium or not, ...)

Does anyone know a good place in Europe where I can order one cheap? Assuming that it isn't something that should be ordered at Akai. But I guess it's a 'normal' battery, not an Akai specific part.

Does it have an internal battery? What's wrong with it?

I found the type of battery. It's a CR2032 - 3Volt

It's used to retain some system settings in the MPC3000 after the power is shut down.
I'm replacing mine just as a precaution because it is already 10 years old.

Make sure you get the right type with regard to rechargable etc. If it is a recharging battery you may not have to worry, but if you are going to replace it make sure it is a rechargable as non rechargables can blow up and spew all sorts of nasty acid (not the kind on brown paper that you shouldn't eat

Anyhow, you probably know what you are doing, but just in case.

I obtained the battery specs from Akai Benelex. They still have them in stock.

The CR2032 is a non rechargable battery.

Cool, good to know!

and as an addon:

Chances are that the battery is directly soldered to the main PCB.
In that case you will have to purchase a BR2032.
