Assuming its used indoors and not outside in a remote location.

Not yet...

The issue is, computer has 12V power supply (or, rather charger), and apparently battery is needed when HD is active, and that is when the boot fails. This was happening ~10 years ago when I start to use it and when that peculiar battery form factor was still available (Rockby Electronics if I remember correctly).
I could still try to use more beefy charger (current one is ~1A, maybe not enough).
