The first version had a removable lithium battery, that was the one
that caused the problems, the 2nd version had a capacitor

How could it be a problem if it is removeable?  I've never seen one with a
removeable battery or a cap,  and I've done hundreds.  although never had to
check the battery on the board till later in the lifespan and the few I did
check were soldered in.
