Description

iFixit has a guide for [removing the PRAM battery on the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PowerBook+G3+Wallstreet+PRAM+Battery+Replacement/11)... but it looks quite involved (practically stripping the laptop to the bare plastic, since the battery is tucked under the palm rest).

So... is it the type of battery that leaks a lot, or not? If not, I'll just leave it. If so, I want to remove it.

Is there an easier way than complete teardown? Because the plastics are surely getting more brittle over time.
