    Where can I buy a replacement coin battery for my UDOO x86 plus?

    My cat ate it :-(

    RTC batteries can be found at several computer webshops, search for the correct specs as listed in the user manual:

    Is the cat ok? Can a battery survive in a stomach long enough to do no harm?
    I haven't checked the European Directive whether having the cat eat the battery is an approved method of disposal.

    Thank you Maurice, that helped.

    I searched google for "cabled CR-2032-LD" and found this page:
    https://www.batterybob.com/products/4004-cr2032-with-wired-connector-cmos-battery-comp-32-t20/

    But batterybob wants a small fortune for a single battery...

    I then picked one of the many compatible part numbers listed on batterybob's page (02K6572), searched it on eBay, and found this:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-FRU-02K...320332&hash=item280aef69d9:g:okkAAOSwrklVZ2za

    This "looks" like the same thing to me.

    The cat is fine, the battery is not o_O

    Umm, no you are ignoring the fact that it is attached via a cable :D

    You could wait for the return of the cable :) I believe Udoo has its own RTC battery holder for their other boards, perhaps it will fit too on the Udoo X86.
    Did you search for "laptop cmos 2 pin" ?

    waltervl, I don't think that's possible... I just ordered the replacement cabled battery I found on eBay. Should work great.

    I almost sure to have already seen a link to rtc cabled batteries somewhere on this forum, but i cant remember where :( If its a normal cat, it just should just chew a few time the batterie (or the cable) until it doesnt work anymore, then release it, with a feeling of accomplished duty.
    Original reason for my 3d printed case is: I saw this "looking funny for cats" battery too ;)
