50 bucks? Come on, you can do that yourself, really :)

At least, depending on what you want, you can easily just cut the battery 'holders' and throw the battery to hell. This, of course, means adding a similar battery will be harder, but you don't want to do that anyway.

From the tons of posts about battery leakage, it appears that what people mostly do is wire a couple of wires to the battery terminals and then attach the new battery somewhere away from the motherboard.

Me, I just soldered the old one off, and resorted to using a timeserver :)

BTW: I am assuming it's the barrel-type battery that I had - were there any others for the a4k? And also I don't know anything about amiga repairs, but removing the battery without reattaching a new one won't damage anything (on the a4k, at least).

Sincerely,
