On the Amiga A501 trap door memory expansion, there is a battery for

the off gassing of it can cause corrosion in the main computer as well.
I checked my Amiga a few months ago. It does have the A501, but mine is
not fitted with a battery. The PCB has the "outline" for where the
battery should be, but no battery. It doesn't look like it's been
removed by anyone either (unless they did an exceptionally fine job ...).
No idea why mine has no battery.
