It was a pain to take the M7626 apart, I did think about replacing but
decided I don't mind entering in the date whenever I boot up the system vs.
worrying about the future.
Overall I remove all batteries unless they're required. For example I
removed all Amiga 2000 batteries, but keep up-to-date with things like IBM
5170 AT's and Compaq's 386-Pentium class systems because they need
batteries to hold their configuration, (what a pain).

Performed maintenance of my VAX 4000-200.
Removed NiCad battery
My to-do list has me doing the rounds of all my machines to check them all
for the batteries. I'd like to replace rather than remove though, but that
could get expensive at about ?10-12 pounds per machine for the cordless
phone battery packs sold by Maplin. Maybe there is a better alternative, I
should go and take a look.
