Replacing the Battery A lithium battery on the motherboard provides backup power for the PC's timekeeping capability. The battery has an estimated life expectancy of seven years. When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be incorrect. If the battery fails, replace it with a CR2032 lithium battery (3 volt, 220mAH rating) or an equivalent battery. WARNING: There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same, or equivalent, type of battery. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. 1 Complete the procedures to prepare the PC and to remove the side panel.
