I dug my LC III out of storage the other day and replaced the battery that had been in there for 31 years. Good to know about these capacitors. I’ll leave a note for myself inside the case.
So uh, just a friendly suggestion: don’t leave any battery in any computer stored anywhere for any length of time.
If you’re storing anything (expecially if it’s somewhere that’s going to be subject to extreme heat/cold, or humidity or whatever) longer than a couple of months, you should probably be yanking the battery out, because even newly made ones will leak given the right circumstances and enough time.

Yes I know. It just took me 31 years to get around to it.
