I not long ago got an a4000 motherboard off of amibench that has had the batery taken off the motherboard and connected by 2 wires , it does not look like it is leaking but the wires at battery end ar green which cant be good.Im going to remove the battery anyway at least it is still not onboard where it could do damage. :-)

f its green it has leaked a long time ago  and no its not good so do remove it and try and get all that "green stuff" away if there is some on the mobo a tooth brush is a nice thing to use .

The motherbord is fine as battery is conected by 2 wires a fair distance away i will get a replacent battery something a bit newer or fit a lithium coin type battery. :-)

What voltage is the battery is it 3.6 volt or lower. :-)
