Cave PCB batteries (CV-1000 & PGM) removal to avoid acid leak

[Sepeh]

I just went and checked my PCB batteries again for any leaks.

I was wondering if people completely remove CV1000 or PGM (DOJ, Espgaluda & Ketsui) batteries or do you just swap them for new? My DOJ battery has been removed but Espgaluda & Ketsui still have green Varta batteries.

What is your opinion on CV-1000 batteries. How long do they last or is it just safer to remove them completely?

I'm thinking about getting rid of them batteries completely so I don't have to worry about acid leak from dead batteries.

The lithium batteries on CV1000 won't leak but they will obviously expire after a number of years.

The PGM ones definitely need keeping an eye on. A good quality battery like Varta shouldn't have an issue with leakage for a good 10 years or more but I believe they can be removed without issue.

Thanks for the info about CV-1000 lithium batteries.

I think I will just solder the PGM batteries off just in case.
