Commodore A501 RAM Expansion Battery Damage Restoration

In this video, I try to resurrect my original A501 RAM Expansion that I used in my Amiga 500 back in the day. Repairing some battery damage and modding the charging circuit to be able to use a standard CR2032 coin cell as a replacement for the original Varta barrel of doom.

Here's the whole Amiga 500 Setup Recreation Series:
Part 1 (The 1084 Monitor): https://youtu.be/GfsMROKTb3g
Part 2 (The Amiga): https://youtu.be/CAiCp33jOvs
Part 3 (Bits & Pieces): https://youtu.be/F3NWW2gV-AM
Part 4 (Amiga Repair): https://youtu.be/oLaHZo28DU8
Part 5 (The Internal Disk Drive): https://youtu.be/3Z8_uzLnrmU
Part 5a (The RAM Expansion): https://youtu.be/AtpvcoPa-7A
Part 6 (Status Update): https://youtu.be/bSRJKnCStwM

The track used for the soldering/timelapse portions of the video is called "Fride" and was kindly provided by Focus 10 aka Øystein Hansen. Thank you! Check out more of his work here: https://soundcloud.com/user-993847645

Focus 10's tune "8-bit wannabe" is now also available as a single from CDBaby/iTunes/Spotify: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/focus101
