We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

Ever seen a watch battery?
Large, flat, and round.
It looks just like one. Probably about the size of a US quarter.

What I do see is black plastic - square shaped - and yeah, near the size of a quarter. There are four of those. And several like them that are smaller.

No, a small, disc shaped cadmium battery. Just one, for the CMOS. It's normally just held down by a small arm, a clamp, it shouldn't be hard to remove. We have at least twenty of those machines in our storage at work, they have the same CMOS batteries as all the other Dells...

Now why didn't I remember that one? Christ knows I cut my fingers to shreds enough times trying to get the battery out. It's not like I had any spare ones lying around to remind me, though - used them all in the Coke machine. 8)
