Vixen SkySensor 2000 Battery Replacement


Recommended Posts

After over 20 years of use, the internal battery in the Vixen SkySensor I use has failed. It still works but it's a right pain to enter all the settings each time it's powered up. I found this useful guide to replacing the battery:

I think I've found the correct battery here, I'd appreciate it if someone could take a quick look and sanity check it for me please?

Thanks Andrew.

Could you let me know how you get on please? I’ve got two that need doing! Was that battery correct? Will get some ordered up if so. Many thanks 🙏

Tested the controller and it's working fine. A friend of mine fitted the battery (it's their mount and controller I use), I don't believe they had to perform any surgery on the PCB.

Thanks very much. Will give it a go.
