ok i get it
a cr2032 will be taller, 3,2mm instead of 2,0mm for a CL2020


is this right ?


oh the battery, I am not sure, dont you have the old one? put the same kind in or check the manual or service manual... both can be found around the forum here if you search.


... I think the sega saturn takes a cr2032... though I could be wrong. number rings a bell though. maybe that's in the 3DO.

it worked...
but i had to put it under the pcb, because the battery holder was to big to be one the top of the card.

it's great now to have the midi filter settings memory !

Hello,
I need to replace my mpc60 battery too, but after some research, i found that the original cl2020 is a rechargeable battery! So a cr2032 is not good...and maybe dangerous for our mpc...
I found that vl2020 is maybe a good option...
What's your opinion?

I've only ever used CR2032. No problems.
I put a battery holder near the front of the chasis to save removing PCBs when I need to replace it.

thanks

No. If you use cheap/crappy batteries they last months. Decent batteries will last years.
