PSA if you have an old Maxspect ICV6 ..

ShakerBreaker · Sep 23, 2023

So I've had my Maxspect Ethereals for an age now and recently they started acting up and turning on or off at odd hours. Every time I opened the app though, the schedule would correct. I had a hunch that the controller was just losing the time and after taking it apart I can confirm that the ICV6 has a small CR1220 battery that keeps the system time just like a motherboard. So if yours is hitting that 7 year or so mark and starting to act weird .. might want to change that battery.

I'm more impressed that it's lasted 7 years...

I love my ethereals. to be fair its been a bit more than 7 years, but I had a devasting tank crash back in 2015 and these were one of the things I saved in storage incase I ever came back.. they were not being used for about 4-5 years there and I don't remember exactly when i bought them.

Sitting idle in "storage" still counts! lol
