I've thought about super capacitors as my PC engine duo uses one for memory saves and it is still going strong.
What model do you use for the Amiga?
Are there any negatives?

The Amiga can charge them after some time. They last a very long time in storage, months. You can also buy the mating connector on eBay for a few cents but I just cut the connector and solder some jumper connecters on wire pigtails and then solder pins to the battery holes on the motherboard. This way I can easily unplug the battery and the wires are long enough to velcro or zip tie the battery to the front of the chassis, out of the way of the motherboard just in case.
Of course it is probably easier to just use a CR2032 and a holder with a diode and be done with it, I like to complicate things.
