Replacing the battery for a computer?

My mom called me today from work saying that the date on the computer doesn't come up anymore.
She says that the service guy will come in and replace a battery or something and he's going to charge $80 (not for the battery but for the service)...so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew what to do.

The computer is used as a cash register so I don't know if it's built any differently inside the than a typical desktop tower.

Anyone know how to replace this battery?
 
The only batteries that I know of with computers are CMOS batteries ($3) on the motherboard and maybe a backup battery. I'm guessing this is not a normal pc.
 
If you can open the computer up and take a picture, we'd be able to tell you... but most likely it's a CMOS battery, which is dirt cheap and ridiculously easy to replace.
 
they proably are talking about the cmos battery i have expernice with things like this the cash register used as a computer is a normal computer proably running windows or linux the battery is a simple cmos battery as in a normal computer all you have to do is crack the case see what type of battery it is usally a lithum something like a 3022 0r 2035 check the computer run down to radio shack and spend 2-4 bucks for it make sure to but to have the postive and negative side the same as the old battery
