0 Ohm Resistor 3-Cell Battery Mod for Librem 14

[FranklyFlawless]

It is version 1 and from the earliest batch, as it does not have a CMOS battery.

Workarounds for running Librem with dead battery?

The first run or two did not have the extra battery, so you were probably correct in that you didn’t see one when you had it open. Mine at least didn’t and I had one of the first L14’s.
