I've got my socket SE/30 apart and just finished putting new caps on the board. I need a new battery anyhow since the one on the board says 1988 on it.

I got to thinking about it and wondered if there would be any issues replacing the holder for the PRAM battery with a holder for a button cell CMOS battery since they don't explode/leak. CR2032 CMOS batteries are 3v and the PRAM batteries are 3.6v, so I don't know if it would even work. There's a button cell LiOn 3.6v battery that could fit the bill though. It's code is LIR2032.

Any thoughts?
