Epson QX-10, battery removal

[Terry Stewart]

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.
