There really is nothing special about coin batteries as a retrofit into Amigas.  The original was a rechargable Nicad.  Provided you match the voltage (and the polarity, of course), the capacity (usually measured in mA/hours) can be just about anything.  I use cordless phone batteries fron Radio Shack.  I splice on longer leads so they can be tie-wrapped far away from the motherboard (and easier to inspect and replace  ;)).  If they do leak in the future, the board won't be damaged.
