Hello Jasen - 

--8<--cut 

TW>>> I used one of those 4 AA cell bateery holders myself to
TW>>> avoid removing the MB and replacing the NiCad soldered in
TW>>> CMOS battery myslef. In fact I still have a couple laying
TW>>> arround with the MB connectors on them. 

CA>> 4 AA cells would be 6 volts, not 3.6 volts. :-) 

JB> 4.8 in NiCd, 

True but I guessed he was referring to older computers such as
Dell that did use regular AA cells (not NiCad). 

JB> but anyway some of the older motherboards want 6V at the
JB> external battery connector... some of them are are happy
JB> with 4.5 or less. 

Again, this would not be something I keep track of but I
believe you. :-)
