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.
