CMOS Battery for PC/AT

 Typically the CMOS battery voltage runs from 3.6V to 6.8, either
 should do okay (in my experience). Try Fedco _at_ 1-800-542-9761 or
 Battery Biz _at_ 1-800-848-6782.

 This battery should still be fairly common. You should be able to pick one
 up from Radio Shack. I don't think the voltage has to be exactly 6.8. The
 package should list compatability, if not there should be a listing in the
 store with a P/N xref.
