I did a couple of Sun NVRAM battery fixes (a while ago now) and
I took digital photos.  If there's interest in seeing how to do it,
I can put up a web page.  I didn't bother to remove the internal
battery, I just exposed the connections and wired a lithium cell
in parallel.  Another one I did (on 31 Dec 1999!) used an external
two-cell AA battery holder.
