-About Barrel Batterys in A2000/A4000/A3000

Hello,

For all us are know about the Barrel Batterys inside our A2000/A4000/A3000,  in this years many are leaking!.
Are big nightmare if you discover that late!, becouse maybe your Motherboard be seriusly damage, and died.
But we know too thats can be avoid, changing the battery, for a brand new, or putting a coin battery, this is a  much better option.

But, a few week ago, i discover in any  A2000 of mine, not have Battery!!.. yes.. not Barrel battery, not coin battery, just the place without nothing, only the printed graphic in the motherboard. The A2000, work fine. ITs a REV 6.3 MotherBoard

Then here born my question.

I read sometime if you remove the Barrel Battery, the Amiga not work, but when  i see this, i m not sure if that are true, becouse thi A2000 not has and work fine (Yes, there not keeps the  Date), but in this case i dont care.
Yes..question..

Its possible remove the batterys and not  replace with other?.

I launch this question, becouse i dont know if maybe this A2000 came without battery from tha factory-

Comments.. are welcome

regards!

Ok guys,

The Barrel battery removed was succesfull Done!.

The A2000 work fine without Barrel battery.

I think, was a good moment for  remove the battery becouse i sew  little signs of leaks started!

anyway.. if you have any A2000/A3000/A4000, i suggest to you minimal remove the barrel battery.

One more time, the Amiga Preservation Win! over the Time Signals!..

Regards!

I like real time clocks. It's so stupid to have all your files dated 1978.

Maybe thats right if you have only 1 Amiga and this uses for all things, but if you have more Amigas (Like me!) and you know wich kind of uses give to those Amigas then, not problem if a couple of Amigas not have a Battery. If its much problem, you can write a Script in the Startup for Set the Date and Hour and Done!. How much time you spend setting a date?.. 10 - 15 seconds?..come on!-

My A4000 never worked again after desoldering the battery.  I had to get a new motherboard on eBay.

Yeah.. thats the reason of this post.. becouse i hear  that happen, in both Amigas (A2000 / A4000), if you remove the battery and not replace with other (Coin or Barrel) not work again.
