The 500 has no battery only the 500+, if you have an memory expansion it has a battery you can check, so open up the trapdoor and see

Although the A500 itself has no battery, the trapdoor RAM expansion can have one, and it can wreak havoc in the A500. Do check that out.
replacement batteries are still really cheap.
