Quoted from Niterider:I’ve been using Franks battery boards in most of my machines and I’ve not had any issues so far. Just remove your old battery holder and solder one of these in place and all you have to do is occasionally pop in a new button battery. They are pretty straightforward.

If you're soldering anyway might as well just buy a coin battery holder and solder it on the board itself
Quoted from KenH:Does anyone know about how long a WPC game without a clock will save settings using a coin battery instead of AA's?

Couple years+
Seems like a lot of work when taking out the unit is super easy.
Quoted from KenH:Agree. If it were my game, I would have already replaced the RAM with a socket and NVRAM. If I botch my board in the process, I can deal with the consequences, and the risk is worth the reward. But I'm reluctant to take that risk with someone else's board.
Installing just a coin battery has aboot 0% chance of botching a board
