| Mar 27, 2012 at 11:53 | comment | added | DanBeale | @CamiloMartin - here's one board where battery is optional if cord is left connected (motherboards.org/files/manuals/7/ax6bc-ol-e.pdf) if the cord is disconnected you lose the RTC info but everything else is stored to EEROM. Here's an article which mentions capacitors used instead of batteries. (tomshardware.com/reviews/…) Here's a laptop that doesn't have motherboard battery (uses main battery or a capacitor) (support.apple.com/kb/TA25911?viewlocale=en_US). | |

| Oct 17, 2011 at 17:12 | comment | added | woliveirajr | some have a simply jumper that does exactly the same of removing the battery | |
