To me it doesn't matter what brand of pram battery is used, i either remove the battery and never replace it, or buy a new battery. You run the risk of a leaking or exploding battery with every replacement.
My first 475 met its fate by a exploding pram battery which was maxell brand, now my current 475 has no pram battery in it, but i do have to double flick the power switch to turn it on or it wont boot, its a trade off between having memory loss or the chance if a pram battery leak or explosion.
I also removed the battery from my IIgs to keep it from seeing the same fate. The only Mac's i replace the pram battery in are my beige G3 AIO, my b&w, yikes, and my digital audio, if in storage or not in use i make sure the battery is removed.
