  2. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Some computer designs have used non-button cell batteries, such as the cylindrical "1/2 AA" used in the Power Mac G4 as well as some older IBM PC compatibles, or a 3-cell nickel–cadmium (Ni–Cd) CMOS battery that looks like a "barrel" (common in Amiga and older IBM PC compatibles), which serves the same purpose. These motherboards often have ...
