?It sounds?like the Matrix-1000 battery has non-removable tabs that are soldered in place, just like the Matrix 6.
?If that's the case, you'd have to get the circuit board in a position to where the battery can be desoldered and a new one soldered in place. A battery holder would be nice so that next time the battery needs to be changed, it can be done without soldering.
?Here's a battery holder:

Subject: [oberheim] Re: What kind of battery is in a Matrix 6 - CR2032 ?
i wanted to put a new battery in my matrix 1000 recently. i took the
top off and it is indeed a cr2032 (not sure if it's the same in the
matrix 6, but am guessing so). the only problem was it was impossible
to get the old one out. i am presuming it is soldered in place and i
have no way of getting it out :(
anyone have any tips on removing the old battery in a matrix 100?

replaced mine about 4 years ago, and I have a hard time remembering
yesterday. One thing I do remember is that the battery is soldered in
place. The actual battery has tabs (pins) that solder into place on
the circuit board. I bought a battery holder so that next time the
battery is replaced no soldering will be necessary. It was a tight fit
for the holder though. I think there was an IC in the way making the
holder sit a little crooked instead of flush with the circuit board.
It worked out fine though.
