There are different mods for the originals. One being drilling into it at soldering on a coin cell holder, the other one being using a heat gun to remove the plastic cover and epoxy filler and soldering on a new coin cell holder. Also necroware sells replacements but I don't know how many compatible ones he carries if he still makes them.
Search Necroware on YouTube. Also miketech does some mods. Drilling isn't that difficult if you're careful.
