Title: About CMOS
Post by: Two-eyes on November 11, 2009, 01:15:09 PM

Hi there people :)

I was reading this CH article: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/c/cmos.htm (http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/c/cmos.htm)

It says that a CMOS battery's life is about 10 years.  My question is: what happens then?  Or does it charge up when the computer is plugged in?

Thanks
