New Amiga 4000! - But what about the battery?

No, you can do this with the board in place.
Just genteelly cut it or wiggle it out.
Then do some cleaning.

I've done 2 4000 boards neither if which I desoldered, the legs if not corroded are long enough to snip high up, clean, flux and solder a nimh compatible replacement in its place. nimh work fine. In the UK I bought mine from Maplins also Digikey/Farnell did one.

No No No ....

What utter twaddle! or How to make a drama out of a crisis!

It's battery acid, not brain surgery!
