Hello Jim,

They leak all the time if not properly getting recharged. One of the reasons cache batteries really need to be changed and not just reset. They eventually will swell and start leaking. Then the planer board goes and real trouble ensues.

The clock buffer button cells, such as the CR2032, or CR2450 used in older AS/400's are not rechargeable. And that's what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about so called "primary batteries" — single use, because the discharge decomposes part of the battery almost irreversibly.

You're talking about "rechargeable batteries" which is chemically different. They're designed so the charging process largely reverses the decomposition of one component into another.

Both are "batteries" but the details are important. Unfortunately, in English as well as in German, most people nowadays just say "battery", or "Batterie" which is imprecise.

Here is an example of a leaking rechargeable clock battery of an old PC board. Also type "button cell" (three of them in a package). Those are well-known to leak with time.
