Acom 2000A – Memory Battery 

Replacement 

Reference your ACOM 2000A Owner

’s manual for other details prior to this procedure. 

  

Normally the ACOM 2000A battery lasts about ten years. If it is a newer amplifier, check the battery 
voltage first. 
 
You will find the battery on the interface board behind the front panel. You can easy remove the 
battery and solder the new one. 
 
There is only one precaution when soldering a new battery: 
 
The battery negative lead is directly connected to the chassis/ground. If your soldering iron tip is 
grounded too, it will make a short when touching the positive lead. This can be avoided if the 
amplifier will be totally disconnected. Remove all cables - the power cord, keying cable from the 
transceiver, both coax cables, RS-232, grounding and whatever else is connected there. 
Alternatively you can leave the amplifier connected and only unplug the soldering iron from the line 
socket while soldering the new battery. 
 

NOTE

: The amplifier memory will be erased. You will have to tune the amplifier up on all bands and 

antennas after the change.
