    I put a new gel battery in my 1981 Seca 750. The battery warning light flashes on the dash until I cancel it. I thought I read somewhere on here that there is a kit or parts to purchase that will remedy this. If so, where can I purchase from?

    Thank you....

    what is flashing originally was the battery cell level sensor. Find the wire get a couple of if I recall .02 ohm resistors if you can find a Radio Shack , crimp 2 together , and crimp one end to wire and other to the positive terminal and now it will indicate like a crude volt "meter" if battery gets low should indicate on Atari anyway that is what I did.

    It's a 2.2 K ohm resistor rated at 1/2 watt, and you only need one. Add a bullet connector, a ring terminal, some wire for length, shrink wrap, and you're golden.
    Chacal sells a premade kit if you aren't handy with electrics.

    Yes kmoe is correct ... I could not recall ohm reading.
