CMOS Battery for PC/AT - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

23 Mar 1998

 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.
