Hello There Synthesizeuhr,

Common wisdom is to change your backup batteries every 10 Years.
I have never changed mine, And It is still working. I notice If 
you put it in storage and don't turn it on for sme time (6 months)
some patches start to fade away. Or just become Init patches. 

I have not seen that brand of battery leak before. Usually a bunch 
of white crystals just form at one end. But I have seen many Korg 
Polysix's become almost un-repairable because of the battery leaking 
on the circuit board, and then the circuit traces disolve.
