Warning! Exploding Maxell PRAM Batteries

[Forrest]

You may want to consider if you can run the computer without a battery. The 660AV will not start without a battery. However a G4 iMac boots fine without a battery - you just need to set the clock

Most will boot normally, but all PRAM settings will be at their defaults. In which case, using TechTool might work, since you can save and restore PRAM settings.
