Wow, I even thanked that post. I have absolutely no recollection of that :confused:

It's irrelevant anyway. My N900 has been lying dormant for over two years :(

Most devices have 0.2F 3V capacitor instead of battery. It's funny issue, because faulty cap significantly reduces time on battery, I had this issue in N95-2 and my PSP. After replacing cap both problems - short battery life and clearing RTC after battery removing has been fixed.

Capacitor looks like this: https://i.postimg.cc/JzwYcZDy/42264039.jpg

I have several still in the tape from Joerg but it has been several moves so I have to scour the interior of the Tardis and find the time.

How much does it reduce battery life? I'm trying to assess if I should bother replacing that.
With a battery that is not new, my N900 can go ~ 1 day doing maintenance (ssh, un/installing stuff etc.), more just using it.

That would be a really good to know. I could also bother to replace it if it indeed affects significantly on battery life.

If a defective cap drains the battery, does a li-ion battery also do?
Because Joerg_RW says the original is a li-ion battery not a cap. (post #1)

Also, he says we could replace the bupbat with a 3.2V cap, not a 3V.
Does this 0.2V makes a difference?

In the mean time, or for those who don't want to replace it, we could just remove the Backup battery. Solving, at least, the battery drain problem.

In theory, maybe. In practice, no.

That's not a battery. For very long time I also thought this component is a battery but no - This is a capacitor. It should have even its parameters on the side :)

Does not matter in this case.

Exactly, if you can't find or solder a new one, you can just remove it to prevent main battery from draining.
