Options are pretty much as follows
A) Leave the batteries out... Flat PRAM wierdness doesnt really affect most 68k's of that era.
B ) Cut the existing pigtails really close to the old battery, lay somefoil or something under the area and carefully solder a normal battery to the pigtails from the old one... taking care to not apply too much heat to the battery for obvious reason.
C) Buy a cheap 1/2AA holder on eBay or where-ever and install it where the battery was. formerly suspended.
D) Solder wires to the battery pads and run to an external holder mounted outside of the case or mount one elsewhere inside the case... personally this idea doesnt appeal to me, however there are a few propenents of the the external idea by virtue of it completely nullifying the chance of battery leaks destroying boards, which I can understand. It's just too messy and hackish for me.
