I've been reading up on various CMOS battery replacements, but I have a question: The board I'm working on had a 3.6v barrel battery that I removed before any damage could be done. There is an external battery connector that measures 5 volts when the power is on. Based on that, I would think that I'd need to use a 4AA battery holder with rechargeable batteries for safe operation (without modification). There are diodes around the area (shown in the attached picture), so perhaps maybe? Let me know what you think.
