# Dallas DS12887/DS12C887 CR2032 battery mod

The modification is fairly simple but can be done in two ways. When I
performed this mod I exposed only pin 20, for the positive feed, and
cut a groove into the casing at pin 12, to expose a little of the pin
shoulder to solder the negative lead to[1].

Most mods I've seen done have used pins 20 and 16, with the CR2032
battery holder I had it seemed tidier to use pin 12, YMMV.
