SELF-RECHARGING BATTERY BACKUP ProtoSounds® state-of-the-art design includes a self-recharging battery backup system for improved performance at any speed. The battery ensures that power to the sound system will remain on during directional changes, setting RESET options or when traveling over dirty track and switches. The self-recharging battery backup system is automatically turned on or off whenever track power is turned on or off. There are no switches needed to enjoy the benefits of the automatic battery backup system. ProtoSounds® contains a warning alarm if the battery backup system fails to automatically disengage when track power is turned off. Should the backup system fail, you will hear a repeating whistle blast indicating this has occurred. Should this happen, unplug the battery from the ProtoSound® module (to prevent the battery from being run down) and contact MTH for instructions on returning the tender for repair. REPLACING THE PROTOSOUNDS® BATTERY The ProtoSound® battery (located in the tender body), is a special NiC
Don, what battery would this have? and can it be replaced with one of BCR?
Not sure but I believe a BCR would be fine.
Tom,
I have several locos of this vintage and bcrs have been good in each.
BCR works fine in the PS/1 locomotives, that's what it was originally designed for I believe.
