Typically the CMOS battery voltage runs from 3.6V to 6.8, either
should do okay (in my experience). Try Fedco @ 1-800-542-9761 or
Battery Biz @ 1-800-848-6782.

I picked up an original PC/AT that has a dead lithium
battery for the
CMOS bios parameter storage. The battery says it's 6.8 volts. It's the
kind that is a 1/2x1x2 inch pack with a six-inch lead.
I've tried several places to find a replacement, but either a store
doesn't have it, or, if they have one, the voltage is not exactly 6.8
volts.
Thanks,
Dave
This battery should still be fairly common. You should be able to pick one
up from Radio Shack. I don't think the voltage has to be exactly 6.8. The
package should list compatability, if not there should be a listing in the
store with a P/N xref.
