Last night I went to do the underside battery mod and had to remove that orange colored foam pad. Was nasty anyways.. is it important and what function did it serve?

The pad is in the trash.

It's to prevent accidental shorting or ESD damage to the battery backup circuit. That battery is usually charged, if the MVS has been powered recently.

Ok then no big deal. I put a non rechargable battery in.

Thanks
