Shows how far back I go with this. The original IBM PC didn't have a battery, you had to type in the date/time each time you started it up. It was a big deal when a company created a card with a battery that automatically set the time/date when you started it up.

I still have all my old computers going back to my very first one, a 1st gen 386. (May even have the wife's 1st 286...) With my luck they will all have different batteries and some are likely not made anymore.

I wish I did. My very first personally owned PC was a PC Limited (M. Dell's original company) 80286 PC. Most of my computers after that though were a string of computers I built using donor parts from the previous one. I used the power supply, case and some of the memory out of the PC Limited one when I built my next computer.
