In my earlier computer days we had a little set up that was a 4 AA batteries
in a holder and a couple of alligator clips that we used to clip across the
internal battery while changing the internal memory battery, and sometimes we
hooked this up with velcro on the back of the computer when the internal
batteries were not available.. it worked then, it will probably work now

If you are concerned, replace the battery. Of course, when you remove the
battery the current data will be lost. So either way, you're gonna loose
data. This is no different than any other device using a microprocessor
with battery RAM data back-up technique.
