Mark,
I used a phone battery on my grandmothers 286. I probably wouldn't do
it again, However. It was about $9 at Radio Shack, and I have so many
real clock batteries out of other computers now. I doubt it provides
any real improvement. Unless maybe you only use your computer once or
twice a month :-) Thats what my grandmother did, but the original
battery in her 286 was corroding, that way I replaced it, not for charge
longevity.
My computers stay on all the time, so charging isn't a problem.
