DDP : DOJ Black label is the only one I think.

and progear

the battery in DOJ BL is a nickel-metal-hydride battery, meaning it recharges as you play. as long as you power it up for a couple of hours every few months you should be fine

mine never gets turned off

is it true that all dodonpachi DOJ's have a battery that leakes and could break the board physically?

Yes ..... you can remove it altogether though as it isnt a suicide battery....

I have a Cave DoDonpachi-DOJ PCB myself. Upon breaking the white colored Cave seal placed on the metal case itself, I found out that the battery was in fine shape with no leakage whatsoever and the overall PCB wasn't dusty (like how some other fellow shmuppers' DOJ PCBs have been). Just fairly recently, I had fellow shmupper, oxtsu, replace the battery on my DOJ PCB. ^_~
