Well, they didn't make it to 10 years... And I didn't keep my original purchase receipt, so I can't make a warranty claim...
(the lower part of the rightmost battery shows the DEC 2025 code).

The Power Mac 7100/80 actually chimes now, but after chime no activity and no video out. I bodged in a CR2032 battery and verified 3.1V at the RTC chip. The service manual says the battery should be replaced if it goes belov 3.2V but usually a CR2032 is okay. The chime can also get distorted if the board is flexed so I suspect a bad trace or something memory related. Search continues. #vintagemac #retrocomputing #batteryleak
