Unfortunately changing the battery in a Partner II is not something that should be attempted in the field. Normally when it goes it's time to replace the processor. The PII is quite old and only avilable used or refurb so you would be doing your customer a favor by recommending an upgrade to an ACS, assuming system capacity is within it's capabilities. The customer would then have the latest Partner system.
