There were two flavors of batteries for the GS, based on the motherboard
design. Both can be found under the power supply: push the tabs on the
end to disengage the PS from the case, and lift it up.
If the battery is soldered to the motherboard, it's an 01 model. Clip the
leads close to the old battery and remove. Make sure you mark which lead
was positive/negative. You can either CAREFULLY solder leads on a new
battery (careful! Too much heat and a battery can explode on you!) or get
a battery holder for the new battery (same size and voltage of
course--Radio Shack still sells them) and attack the leads from the holder
to the ones on the MB (These could be soldered.) A model 03 has a battery
holder built on to it, so battery changes are a lot easier. :)
