Introduction
Removal of the CMOS battery is a very quick and simple procedure. The CMOS battery will lose its charge over time and cannot be recharged, therefore you will need to replace it from time to time (very infrequently). No special caution is needed to follow this guide other than to be gentle with the laptop and do not to touch any electrical components not mentioned in the guide.
