# Power LED & Battery Mod Kit

## Component Guide

#### CR2032 3V Battery

CR2032 batteries typically have a lifespan of roughly 10 - 20 years depending on their use and environment. Given the age of the GameCube, the original battery should be replaced. Included with this kit is a new CR2032 3V lithium coin cell battery.

Install the battery holder before inserting the new battery so it doesn’t get damaged by heat from your soldering iron.

#### 20MM Coin Cell Battery Holder

Having to get your soldering iron out to swap a battery is a pain! That’s why this kit comes with a 20MM battery holder so you can easily replace a 2020 or 2032 coin cell battery with ease when the time comes.

Make sure the positive side, marked with a + on the diagram, faces toward the LED when installed.

#### 3MM Color LED

Replacing the stock power LED with a new color LED of your choosing is a simple way to customize your GameCube and make is stand out from the others. Make sure to install the LED with the longer lead (the + side) facing towards the battery.

If you want to save the original LED, mark the positive side with a marker before removing it. That way, if you ever reinstall it you will know which direction it should be.
