Yup. We have been there and done that already. Go and ask any Commodore Amiga user what they think of those soldered-on batteries today.

Actually, some 90s mobos have CMOS batteries soldered on already. I know this since one of my friends had that and was really pissed about it since the "death" of that battery on his computer rendered it unbootable (need to replace it to get it working again)

re-solder them with a tweezer iron? I‘d guess these will become ubiquitous in the coming years
