What is the battery? A lithium coin cell?
Yes.
Having had all sorts of batteries leak over the years,
I would be happer
if you could repmve the old battery (even if it makes a mess of the top
of the package. Is that possible?
I never had problems with leaking lithium coin
cells.
You can remove the battery by cutting the top of the chip. But be
carefull, the other half of the top contains the oszilator crystal of
the RTC. I don't like to remove the battery because it weakens the top
of the chip mechanicaly. (Though, you could fix the remaining part of
the top with the crystal by putting some resin on it.)
