I was highlighting the A3000 as an exception to the rule due to it's NVRAM requiring a functional battery.

I also have an A2000 without a battery and it works fine.

Sometinh about NVRAM. How does a CD32 holds the savegames withhout a battery in NVRAM?

The CD32 uses EEPROM for storing non volotile data.
It would have also been the ideal choice for storing the A3000 SCSI controller settings, but the Ricoh real time clock happens to contain 26 x 4bits of battery backed RAM which wasn't being used otherwise.  So I guess Commodore just chose to use it as it was there for the taking.

More information on battery replacement, etc here.
