CMOS battery life?

Comment:

Hi, I got an ASUS PVP400-VM mobo in mid august of this year. How long does the typical battery life last? Also, can you buy the battery from some place like Walmart, or do you have to go to a computer parts store? Thanks.

3-5 years might be the average, Radio Shack has them.

Don't worry about the battery unless your settings in the BIOS keep reverting back to default. Sometimes batteries can last for 7 years.
