The CMOS bat on an old compaq machine has died.  It's 3.6v

I'm replacing it with AA bats... 2 won't be enough --> 3v

3 * 1.5v = 4.5v.  Will that upset the mbd?
If I use 3 AA bats in series it will give me 4.5v. Does anyone know if this will cause an issue?

Cheers Don


IIRC, in my experience, both will work but 3 batts last longer.
