Hello all,

I have an old much loved 286 computer that I wish to store for a while
(could be months, not sure).

The battery on the mobo is a normal AA battery.

Should I remove it in case it leaks and destroys the works - would it
render the CMOS useless and lose all the info on it?

Or is it best to leave in place?

Or should I just install a brand new battery before storing and hope for
the best?

Any suggestions will be greatly received.
