Dead battery in my A1200 Blizzard PPC 68040 with Scsi Please Help!

I have to change mine too.. Just not around to it..
Its not the standard battery that pc's take and its soldered to the board. You will need to desolder first.. Expensive mishap ahead???

I think it's a PANASONIC VL2020 (vanadium pentoxide)
check the model on yours to be sure.
These are probably about £6.

do you know if they can be replaced by a more common Lithium coin type, so one doesn't have to do this every half a decade or so? :-)

I have no idea??? maybe there is a hack on aminet or somebody on here has figured something out??
