Re: Potentially Toxic Situation
Completely agreed, although I didn't solder this battery. This was purchased from someone else who had previously performed the soldering. This is definitely not my work.
Also, anytime I solder I make a point of wearing a facial mask for protection from the fumes. This is something that still has a standing aroma, most unpleasant and I'm just wanting to ensure it cannot affect myself or my family.

Re: Potentially Toxic Situation
Hmm. These kind of batteries are lithium so it shouldn't have anything to do with leakage.
I probably should have mentioned this is also for a portable handheld system so it'll always remain fairly close to my face.

Potentially Toxic Situation
Hello all! Long term techie, but I'm relatively new to soldering so forgive any ignorance in advance. Now, straight to the point:
I recently ordered a retro game online, and the seller neglected to mention that the CMOS battery had been replaced. Before even opening the cartridge, I could already sense the strong aroma of something had been soldered. Once I opened the cart, it was 100% confirmed. A very poor soldering job and a fairly strong smell. In a few minutes I felt slightly light-headed. Unsure if it was lead, or something else. Keep in mind this is well after any soldering had already...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Greetings progr....I mean fellow techies. Long time infrastructure technician, and developer of 16 years, but quite new to soldering. This is exactly why I have seeked you out as I have a general, yet potentially dangerous situation and really look forward to gathering your wisdom on the topic. Thanks so much
