My A4000 mb is off for a repair and I'm looking for information on putting a lithium coin battery in place of a rechargeable barrel type. I contacted DJBase who has sold out of his adapter but have since found this one on the Bay:

Does anyone have any experience with this one or can someone tell me or provide a diagram of what is required to fit one of these types of batterie to the Amiga without the machine trying to recharge it?
Thanks for the help.
I've bought one, some month ago. The diode on the + pin was poorly welded (or may be damaged during shipping) and I had to redo the solder. Otherwise, you can do the installation yourself, it's cheap, but remember the diode.
