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.

I found your thread about the battery and bios. Would you have to change any bios values after replacing the battery, since any settings would be lost, or do you just go with the default settings? Would there be some indication the battery is getting weak? On the PC it lost the time and date settings.
