Blizzard 030 battery leakage?
« on: August 14, 2005, 10:59:15 PM »
Hi,

I have recently upgraded my accelerator card and will not be using my old A1200 Blizzard 030 accelerator any time soon. What I would like to know is this: is there any danger in leaving the board's battery in place, or should I remove it before I store the card in my loft???

I have heard horror stories of batteries on other boards leaking and causing permanent damage. Is this a danger for Blizzard accelerators too?

thanks for any info / tips...

Well, judging by the response I guess I should remove the battery...."just incase"

Thanks for the feedback guys!
