Some more info on Lithium batteries for you if you are interested

Anywayz, ANY Battery will do fine as long as it's branded like Energizer, duracell or stuff like that. Run to a convenience store and instantly buy them!

In another story about computer batteries, I once had a 486 PC, which the WHOLE BATTERY (drum shape, brand: Varta 1000mAH I think so), soldered ONTO the board!!!

The worst thing could be the CMOS kept on forgetting the date, and all of the electrolyte oozing out of the darned thing when it's even kept too long.

Thank goodness, I ditched the board already. Why did they create barrel-shaped batteries and soldered them onto the board?

I wonder why don't they make a Rechargable CR2032 battery

Lithium will accept a charge in most applications and due to the long life of the lithium cell they probably think it is not necessary.

A lithium cell in some applications will outlast the entire lifespan of a nickel cadmium rechargeable cell.

About 5 CAD and any local watch or battery shop should carry them

I wonder if we leave the PC turned off but the power supply at the outlet is not turned off, would it utilize the battery to keep the CMOS settings alive?

If the power supply is still on, the motherboard will be in standby mode.

Yeah, and it will recharge the CMOS battery.

Both replies above are correct the CMOS battery will trickle charge as long as the PSU is on(reset switch by plug).
