As i'm waiting for a 386dx40 system i ordered i'm very interested in Keropi's CR2032 battery mod. I'm planning to do it myself. But i read in other posts around hal9000 saying it's not a good idea to do this way because lithium cr2032's are not supposed to be recharged and it is a better idea to use external battery connector. Will this mod actually charge the battery? I really need to understand this as the motherboard i ordered will need a mod like this.
This is the board in TULARC:

And an actual pic:
I really wanted a permanent cr2032 socket on the board or do something like Keropi did but if this method might blow the battery and make it leak i'll have to use the external battery connector.
The external battery conector has all 4 pins. So looking at motherboard instructions on TULARC i have the idea that i need a jumper on the 2 and 3 pins and connect positive on pin 1 and negative on pin 4. This way all pins are closed like the instructions require.
Can someone help me and clear my mind about this so i don't end up doing harm to the system?
