Can anyone advice me if the safe thing to do is to replace the Bios battery on my old Best 3100 from 2000. After a period of inactivity it has stared to not recognise the date, keyboard, hard disk, and give bad checksums. I have given it to a friend with not much money.
Or will regular charging of the main battery hold the problem at bay?
