When a laptop is disconnected from the mains and switched off does the
laptop keep time by using the "Normal" laptop battery, or does it go
straight to the CMOS battery to regulate the time ?
I ask this because as well as owning a laptop I have a desktop machine that
is 11 years old and still using the same CMOS battery. When I power down
the PC the fan stops etc but there is still a LED light lit on the circuit
board and I assume from this that the mains is still powering the clock.
