Sadly I had the same thing happen. Maxell battery exploded and I did not notice
it before it corroded the heck out of my machine while in storage. Want to join
a class-action lawsuit against Maxell with me for making defective batteries?
LOL. I feel Maxell owes me a Mac IIci...!
Jon Gilbert,
I've started working towards going through my computer collection and making
sure all batteries are removed...and it's been a depressing experience so
far. From what I've read, in the Mac world, Maxell batteries are bad news.
In the PC world, seems like everything I have with a non-button cell
of the metal frame. It cleaned up ok, but now I have to ponder a
motherboard repair or swap.

Thank you for confirming the brand.

I forget whether the IIci will run without a PRAM battery (several of the
II series won't) but you should be able to attach a hard disk to the
external SCSI port without further modification. It will need external
power in that case.
You can try to power up the machine without either battery or

Go to an electronics or automotive supply store and buy a high grade
electronics cleaner/contact cleaner that is plastics safe. It will neutralize
the acid and remove it. Let it dry overnight and it should be good as new.

While I think of it: do you have the blown battery handy?
I ask because I am wondering what brand the battery is (or, rather, was).
