I've done 2 4000 boards neither if which I desoldered, the legs if not corroded are long enough to snip high up, clean, flux and solder a nimh compatible replacement in its place. nimh work fine. In the UK I bought mine from Maplins also Digikey/Farnell did one.

No no no no :roflmao:
Still havent learned the trick ha ?
Regardless of the legs being in or out, solder wires to it and place the battery between the front metal and front case, near the leds, but not inside the case anymore.
That battery, even if it is 2032, always on the front between the metal and the plastic.
If your smart, you will use a thermoplastic connector so the red and black wire can be used again, while you solder wires also to the battery.
Well, I removed the battery back in 1998 and never replaced it.
The accurate date & time are retrieved from the web as soon as the Miggy has booted and MiamiDX is online. This is done by a tool I downloaded from Aminet - sorry, can't remember the name atm.
No more risk of leaking batteries.
I haven't missed the battery since.
