Does leaving it out entirely cause any issues (at least during a
testing phase)?
If it's actually holding a charge at present (I seriously doubt it,
but it doesn't appear to have leaked) is there any benefit to leaving
it in initially - i.e. is it responsible for retaining any settings
(e.g. disk parameters) that it would be useful for me to write down -
assuming the system proves to be operational - before replacing it?
If its working and not leaking go for it.? Its easy to replace when you
need to.
My favorite line for all this is Kaplagh~!? Go for it and get the docs
they can really help!?

Mine's the BA123, the bigger one. It's heavy! I lifted it out of the
van myself and put it onto one of the kids' old sleds so that I could
drag it through the snow to the door it needed to go through, then
picked it up again and took it up the few steps that were necessary.
Did I mention that it was heavy?
I did take the side panels off, which helped a lot - I could lift it
(just) then with one hand around the top edge and the other on the
metal bar at the bottom by the power inlet. I certainly wouldn't want
to carry one far.
I can't believe you 'just carry it into
the house' all by yourself,
unless you are professional athlete.
I also have a MicroVax II in the BA123 world box and it has wheels
for a
reason!? The damn thing weighs 130 lbs!
I took it to the VCF East last year, never do that again.? Too heavy.
Huge difference between BA23 and ba123 as the BA123 is about twice
the size
and internal board space. Yes, remove the NiCad battery.
Its easily replaced. RD53s had a
problem with the head sticking against the stops.? I repair
them, yes I open them
unstick it then remove the offending the rubber parts.
That's useful to know - I'm certainly not against doing that myself if
it proves necessary (assuming that's the drive I have)
cheers
