If they are not a "wear item" whatever that is, then why do they now use easily replaceable batteries instead of the old style batteries that were soldered onto the motherboard like in the old days? Sometimes the batteries outlast the computer but sometimes not.
they probably changed to the replacables because in the old days they want south about 4 times a year, but these days , i have to say , haven't had to replace a cmos battery in probably the last 8 years... and i work in IT..
even old mother boards i pull from a storage shelf, or old servers that haven't been running for a year... plug em in, might get a cmos reset message, but usually the battery will simply recharge with use...
