My consol's battery holder somehow got rusted and the autofix clock in webman mod also dosent work for me.
Although, uptill now after each startup i just set time via internet (~10 sec process) after every cold boot and it works.

But recently, i am looking for a complete solution to this problem, need suggestions which holder should use this one feels most approprite to me in comparison to the original battery holder on the PS3, however i am more than intreseted in trying the dual battery mod by @DeViL303 shown here using this battery holder. But then i would have to solder it directly on the motherboard unlike what is told in the "CBOMB Defusal Mod - Dual CMOS Battery Set up" guide, as the previous holder's contacts are rusted.
Is this possible to directly solder the battery holder's wires onto the motherborar ?

My console is CECH-2508A (CFW console)
 
Hey, quick note. That battery holder does look cool and would be great. But to me it looks like that will link up the batteries in SERIES.

See how this solid bar links up plus and minus there on the top.

This would then output 6.6 volts to the motherboard which would not be good and might damage the board. You might find some dual batter holders that have PARALLEL wiring, so it only outputs 3.3 volts as needed.

Maybe that one you linked to could be modded somehow, not sure.
