The Duo does not need a PRAM battery to start up. If your MoBo's don't have any PRAM battery connected to them, then should should start up just as though they have just had a complete PRAM reset. In otherwords, all PRAM values would be set to default values and it should work. So, your problem is not the lack of a PRAM battery.
