I have these Pro-lite LED 1 line signs. Some have started losing their memory overnight when the power gets killed to them.
So I opened one up and found that there is a little rechargable battery soldered onto the board.It is a 3.6 volts 60 ma battery.
So I want to put a new battery in but I can't seem to find them online anywhere.

Am I right in thinking this will fix the problem?
Any ideas on where to get the battery?

I didn't know if this should go here or ground level but I figured the technical aspect put it here.

Assuming it's a 3 cell blue/purple/whatever computer/machine controller type battery one of these should do it:

Should be a fairly common battery. Radio Shack, Batteries Plus, Mouser, Jameco, etc should all carry them.
