CMOS Backup Battery:
An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep
the BIOS information stays on even after
disconnected your system with power source.
Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after
some five years.
Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY
HAS FAILED” or “CMOS checksum error” displays
on monitor, this backup battery is no longer
functional and has to be renewed
