That battery is welded to its prongs and soldered to the board. In my opinion, these should be replaced with original equipment. = Swapping in a battery holder adds resistance to the battery connections, = which reduces the effectiveness of the battery. Frankly, a new one = should last until 2050, when you=E2=80=99ll be lucky if the rest of the = synth is still working anyway. If you like, I can replace it for you. In fact, I=E2=80=99ll guarantee = my work and replace it again in 2053 if we're still alive.
