The IIci does not rely on the battery for booting. Other models do, which causes "replace the battery" to be common advice, but the IIci doesn't care whether the battery works, nor whether it is installed, for booting purposes. Do not solder in a replacement battery. Replacement battery holders are available and will be much more convenient the next time it is time to change the battery.
