Definitely replace that battery soon!
Power on, then hold CTL BREAK and press RESET button.
Good luck!

I did check the battery before, but now that I look more closely there is
some leakage just beginning to occur. It hasn't reached the board yet, but I
think I should play it safe and remove it. Thanks for mentioning that.
When you do a cold start do you hold the buttons then press the power switch,
or do you press them after powering the computer on?
Thanks.

Fresh AAs will be fine; (you did check that there's no sign of any leakage
around the internal NiCd battery?)
Cold start:
Hold down CTRL BREAK while you press RESET

I don't have the power adapter unfortunately. Will it function just as
well on AA batteries?
Could you also explain what you mean by cold start?
Thanks!

Power problems are common when you first get a Model T out of storage.
Generally it needs to be plugged in, left on overnight to get the
internal nicad charged up. Then do a cold start to clear the RAM.
