Leonard, there is a great deal of debate about the bios battery and its life expectancy. Folks have debated 3-15 years is the life expectancy. My experience, I have had to replace the battery sooner. Others have stated never having to replace a battery. The choice is up to you.
As a matter of fact, I created a thread about this subject. Search for: MB100: Bios... Something should come up. I'm on my iPhone and do not recall the thread name, so can't post the url right now.
Perhaps just change the battery in 3 or so years to be on the safe side, maybe? After all batteries are cheap, a couple of bucks at most.
