    Tore my cluster apart

    Shockingly my 89 vdo cluster has a 92 build date motometer si board with lithium batteries. Previous owner must have had it updated. My SI lights all work, and that batteries don't leak.

    Anywho, since I have this all apart, should I replace the lithium batteries as a precautionary measure or do they not go bad the way the old nicads do?

    When is Graves going to make a replacement board that shows afr with those led's?

        check the voltage. if it's under 2v replace them, otherwise leave them alone.

          Lithium > Ni Cad. I would not worry about it.
