There's nothing stored in the Parameter RAM that won't be restored to a default
state by the OS on boot.
Macs generally won't boot without a PRAM battery though, so if you're storing your
systems without one, you'll need to replace the battery before use.
You might want to run some wire for a socket out of the case if you're going to do
that regularly, since it can be a pain to get in there on many models?and not just on
compact Macs, either, though they're obviously tough.

In the case of the Mac SE's, are there any critical settings which I should make a
note of before removing the on-board battery? Should I expect any issues trying to run the
machines without? (I'm not inclined to replace batteries unless I have to, just so I
don't have to worry about replacement again in x years time)
