Storing CPU Board

[Andy B]

I bought a Rocket CPU from Pinsound for my TZ.

Old board is fully functional but hacked so I would like to keep it as a backup rather than sell.

It has just one battery on board which, I am guessing, is rechargeable - see photo.

Can I leave that battery on the board when I wrap it in bubble wrap to store or am I best removing it entirely? Can it leak? Any advantages to leaving it on?

Thanks

Andy

Never seen one like that before I'd remove it if you're storing it Why take the risk for what is a 10 second job.

Looks to be a lithium battery:

Saft LS14500 Battery 3.6V Lithium LSG14500 Size AA CR14500

Saft LS14500 batteries available to buy online from UK Distributors. LS14500 AA 3.6V lithium batteries are an ideal choice for security devices and utility meters.

Lithium batteries generally don’t leak but Chris is quite right, if you’re storing the board remove the battery to prevent any chance at all of it being a problem!

Will snip it off and solder on remote battery holder just in case I need it in future (more likely when I need it in future!).
