Some new mother boards no longer use a battery they use a capacitor that
acts as a battery.
How ever most mother boards will support a battery connector that will let
you use a
Off Mother board style battery pack. The best thing you may want to try is
usuing google to find some one who
sells these. At one time Radio Shack use to sell these. They wwere about
7.95 to 15.00
Also you may want to look for a program called cmos ram.
This would copy your cmos data to floppy after you do so then warm reboot
then it will be ready for next time needed
You then do a cold power boot with the floppy and behold all data is back
except the time and date which it will ask you
for to continue.
I may still have a copy some where I will look for it.
