RaSTuS Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 G'day Phil, welcome to the forums mate, great group around here, I hope you like the place. I've got 2 Ultra-IIs, later today I'll try and find one of them to pull the NanoMag compartment off and try and get a few pics for ya'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Bill Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Very nice clear pics, Rastus.. and great of you to help out, too. If those battery leads go to a 9 volt "snap" connector, they will likely break again during future battery replacements. Stranded leads are generally very weak where the solder stops wicking up the lead, and any repeated movement will cause 'em to break. Finding new "snaps" with longer leads would be worthwhile, IMO. Longer leads would permit the battery leads to be tied down or constrained, maybe with a tiny zip tie using one of the holes in the trimmed corner of the circuit board.. or just passing the longer leads thru those holes before being soldered to the locations on the board. Either way would eliminate or minimize any strain or movement near the soldered joints, and very likely last much longer. Bill Hope this is the area you were talking of.
