Will a Powerbook 520c run with the internal PRAM battery removed?

If I remove the PRAM battery from my Powerbook 520c will the machine run without issues?

No different from operating with a dead one. It won’t keep time and date, and you can’t cold boot from the main battery.

Yes. It will even boot without the ribbon that goes to the trackpad and connect the pram battery (so without the trackpad as well)

Can confirm, as someone who forgot to plug the trackpad in when reassembling his 540c like an idiot.
