Replacement Rechargeable Battery for HI-203E

[wytonpjs]

Hi

I have 2 old Haicom 203E "built-in" to the dashboard of our family cars. Both continue to work well with one exception - they take a long time to acquire their initial position on powering-up. This says to me that not unsurpringly after such a long time the small rechargeable batteries fitted to them are no longer capable of holding charge to retain last-fix information. Having taken one of them apart, the battery is easily accessible and with simple soldering skills can be replaced. My question - does anyone know the spec of these batteries and/or better still, a source for new ones.

Fingers crossed,

Peter

Well, I've done the difficult bit. The battery is a Seiko Instruments Inc (SII) MS614 3v Lithium battery in package FL28E (2 solder tags brought out to lower surface -ve side). Regrettably, having found the UK representative, they are only interested in volume deals. Does anyone know a source where I might be able to pickup 2? Battery is 6.8 mm dia and 1.8mm thick with a 2.3mAh rating (0.2ma at 3.3v for 24hrs)! Any help greatfully received.
