Hello There from the UK....

Hi

Just a quickie to say I would get the battery off as quickly as possible before you lose the Amiga all together.

Can you run without the battery?

No problem really.. In fact I have my A4000 on the internet so every time I fire her up I connect to the atomic clock and it auto updates the time anyway.

I always remove batteries from Amigas now. It is just too risky. You will lose the mouse otherwise and then the motherboard will fall apart. It runs down underneath and causes even worse probs you cant see. Very sad...

Here is an A4000 I rescued

I generally just rock the battery back and forth till it snaps off.. Ever so gently... Here is the more professional way...

Better to remove the battery than lose a valuable computer...
