[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1104394, member: 124706"] I'm not saying the battery is [i]bad[/i] per se, but it just needs to be replaced. Depending on how long ago it was replaced, and what brand it is determines the life of the battery. (Some brands are better than others- cheapo brands tend to fail). If it is indeed bad, something on the logic board is eating it up. The CMOS battery is only responsible for maintaining time and date (and a couple other things). If it's getting drained like a V10 engine drinks gas, there may be something going on that shouldn't be. We'll know once you restart it. [/QUOTE]
