@Get27:
Right you are.
Rechecked the original images. 3,5V 60mAh. Mea Culpa. I will correct the page asap. Thank you very much for your help.

@All others:
Sorry for the disturbance.

Sorry for Hi-Jacking this thread (somewhat).

I still don’t understand what the problem is. I hope this isn’t about semantics?!?

Let me make it clear though. I’m well aware about the difference between a capacitor and a battery. The depicted is NOT a battery, hence the statement ‘capacitor USED as battery’. This does not mean it IS a battery. To rephrase it: the capacitor acts as a battery.

To quote from en.wikipedia.org about the Amiga 2000: ‘and includes a battery-backed real-time clock’.
As far as I know, there are some boards with batteries and some with capacitors in stead of batteries, to cut costs. Is that not correct? There are definitely no batteries on my board. In my book that makes the phrase ‘capacitor USED as battery’ completely valid.

Maybe someone could elaborate on ‘it’s a BIG error’?

From what Google Translate tells me, you didn’t like it I guess?! Fair enough, I can live with that. There are several reasons why I chose to do what I did, which are not mentioned in the text.

It also seems you have a problem with me stating that a capacitor acts as battery and I find that regrettable. The email is at the top of the page and you could have given me the courtesy to drop me a line, so I could correct the error. Unfortunately you chose not to.

So, enlighten me here then.
