Startup problem with a Blue G3 Server

[quadra800]

Hi! I have a PowerMac G3 Blue/White Server 350MHz, 1x 9GB original SCSI, 1x 100GB (seagate, I think) ATA-33, 256MB RAM ex.
When I push the power button I hear the "sosumi" sound and the disk(SCSI) crackles for a couple of seconds. But then the whole system freezes. It has worked before. The problem started a few weeks ago, and I don't see any reasons for why it doesn't work anymore. Note: The mac isn't running any server software, only regular 10.3.9. Please help.

Nevermind, problem solved. It worked after PRAM reset.

Looks like the backup-battery i dead. Is it just a regular backup-battery or is it some kind of Apple specific?
