An Amiga 4000 I purchased a few months ago has had it's clock battery removed and replaced by a caddy which holds 2 AAA rechargeable batteries. I presume this is a solution to the battery problem and it keeps excellent time. However the batteries are showing sign of age. Is it simply a case of changing the existing batteries with new AAA NmH ones. Do they have to be charged first ? Can you also use standard akaline batteries.
Any views on this ? :-?
