Re: SIL Quandry (archive)

: Kids,
: I broke down ann reflowed the solder on my hokey Speedo unit today since I am replacing the dash tommorrow. I figured while I had it out, I would do the SI batteries
: as well. This is where everything went FUBAR. Seems the Previous Owner had been suckered by the dealer and bought a whole new Board. The board had a date of "11.90" stamped on it. So I got a newer board, good right? Well the batteries on this board are 3v Sanyo Lithium Ions, not the Varta 1.5 volts, so I have to special order them, Radio Shack doesn't even stock them. DRAT DRAT DOUBLE DRAT ( thats not what I am really saying, what I really said is not fit for the forum!) I refuse to buy another board! Anyone have any suggestions as to where to get this friggin batteries?
: num on batteries is CR14250SE. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, I already kicked the dog, but that didn't help!

Jim,
Where do you live? I'm not sure it there's one where you are (if you're not in CA), but Fry's electronics has a butt-load of all kinds of batteries. When I replaced my batteries (AA type, but Li-ions, i'm pretty sure), I got them from a local electronics store called Sandy's Electronics. Anyway, hope this helps. I hope you apologized to your poor doggie...

A fellow 318i owner,
Brian
