Hi Jules
I found removing my QX-10's battery stopped the machines working. I tried
replacing it with a lithium battery after disabling the recharging circuit
but that didn't work either.
The old battery doesn't show any signs of leaking so I just left it in
there. I check all my machines with batteries once a year for any battery
leakage so I'm comfortable with leaving it there.

I think most of my machines which have batteries just use them for things
such as
TOD clock and so it's no big deal to remove them (and they'll run
happily without), but I do also have various "unknowns" - of which the
QX-10 is one.
(I don't suppose anyone is working on a big list of machines with
batteries in,
which ones need consideration before removal, and which ones
refuse to function without a battery present, are they?)
cheers
