Battery
What is the CMOS Battery?

Basically, CMOS Battery is a lithium cell


battery looks like a coin. As the battery is
used provide power supply to the CMOS
Chip that is why it is called CMOS battery.
What is the Function of CMOS
Battery?
CMOS battery is used to provide the power
supply to the CMOS chip even when the
computer is shutdown. The CMOS battery in
a computer is used to keep and maintain the
real-time clock RTC, which is the system
clock and power the memory chip that
contains the system configuration file.
What is CMOS battery and
its uses?
A CMOS battery is like a watch
battery that keeps power going to the
motherboard enough to retain its
settings. Items like configurations of
boot or even the time of the BIOS are
retained using this battery.
Is CMOS battery necessary?
CMOS RAM requires a battery; the
settings would otherwise be lost when
the PC was switched off. Modern
computers don't use CMOS RAM
anymore. They store the BIOS settings
in non-volatile memory, which means
that the settings don't need constant
power to be saved.
Where is CMOS battery used?
CMOS Battery gives 'backup power' to
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) of a computer to keep
some parameter values, for example RTC
(Real Time Clock). These primary
parameters shall be used when the system
gets booted again. Many computers use
CMOS memory to hold current time and
date.
Where is CMOS battery connected?
Battery is connected to an onboard
connector by wires:
Where is CMOS battery located?
Find the CMOS battery, which is located
on the right side of the motherboard. It will
look like a quarter. Take note of the
orientation of the battery facing up (+ or -).
On Creation Stations, the direction of the
battery has the + (positive) side facing up.
CMOS Battery Voltage
Generally, CMOS batteries are used in the
range of 3V to 5V. Most of the cases 3V
CMOS batteries are used. In some devices
5V CMOS battery also used.
Is CMOS Battery Chargeable?
No, CMOS battery is not chargeable. When the
computer is ON, the CMOS chip takes power supply
from the motherboard. but when the computer is
OFF, then the CMOS chip takes power supply from
the CMOS Battery.
There are some circuits are used in the
motherboard to prevent charging of the CMOS
Battery when the power supply is available. You may
notice a Diode always connected with the CMOS
battery.
The lifetime of CMOS Battery
This cell battery has an estimated life of 3
years when power supply unit (PSU) is unplugged
or when the PSU power switch is turned off. In
earlier days, the lifetime of CMOS batteries was
3 years, but nowadays the CMOS batteries are
designed with a lifetime of maximum 10 years.
The lifetime of the CMOS batteries varies with
uses, working environment. CMOS battery may
need to be replaced before 10 years.
Do I need to replace CMOS battery?
If the date and time are wrong, try
correcting. Then, check again; if the
computer is still not connecting to the
internet, you need to replace the CMOS
battery. If you hear a constant beeping
sound when working with your computer,
it is a sign that you need to replace the
CMOS battery.
Is it okay to remove CMOS battery?
Technically, YES. Removing the CMOS
battery will allow your computer to run
however, you will lose the date and time
settings, the computer will boot with
default BIOS settings or you will have to
choose the drive that the OS is installed
every time you start your computer.
What happens when you remove CMOS
battery?
Removing the CMOS battery will allow
your computer to run however, you will
lose the date and time settings, the
computer will boot with default BIOS
settings or you will have to choose the
drive that the OS is installed every time
you start your computer.
When was the CMOS battery invented?
CMOS circuits were invented in 1963 by
Frank Wanlass at Fairchild Semiconductor
and patented in 1967. The first CMOS
integrated circuits were made by RCA in
1968 by a group led by Albert Medwin.
Originally a low-power but slow alternative
to TTL, CMOS found early adopters in the
watch industry and in other fields where
battery life was more important than speed.
