The PRAM battery in the Quadras I know (using 3.6V lithium battery) is NOT
beign recharged when the computer is plugged in: those lithium units are not
rechargeable.
Rather, the power supply continually puts out a minute amount of voltage (5V,
1mA) whenever it is plugged in, which frees the battery from delivering any
power. When the computer is unplugged, the battery takes over.
P.O.
