Not sure where to post this but I have an RS-4i sequential stimulator that runs off rechargeable batteries and also has a VL2330 coin cell battery that retains the memory. If that battery doesn't hold charge or connection is bad then the unit will power on and say to recharge. Once it is charged it indicates it is charged but when you turn unit on it powers off saying to charge batteries. I replaced that coin cell battery and now it won't even indicate batteries need to be charged. I have tested the battery pack and it is fully charged at 6V but the coin cell only shows 2.97V which is a brand new battery I put in. It will not charge any higher and machine will not even turn on any longer.
I tested to pins and legs on both sides of the circuit board and it shows the power of the coin cell. When I put the new battery in I just cut of the solder tabs oh the old battery so I wouldn't mess up the circuit board and soldered the new battery legs to the old battery legs.
So shouldn't there be continuity between the 2 solder joints on the circuit board?
