Stupid question on a BH6 - What battery on the MB does it take?

I am putting together a system for an old friend out of old parts that I have. One of the items is an old Abit BH6 motherboard that uses the Round flat battery to power the CMOS. The battery is missing and nowhere in the users amnual does it specify what Battery it uses. Anybody know what Duracell or Eveready (or other battery) that it uses? Thanks

HI


the battery standard for motherboards is CR2032 on any brand about $2 to $4 at bimart-radioshack ect

Hope that helps
 
>Why is this a stupid question?
I didn't know it was a stupid question either. I hate to look stupid, but sometimes it just comes out.

I didn't know they were all the same either. Sometimes they have a battery type engraved in the plastic in the battery compartment. Hard to see in black plastic in a dark place.

I know this battery is the hardest one to find, because the place for it on the rack is empty from people buying them out. When I had to find one, I couldn't get it from the computer stores or the office stores. I ended up at Target, by the cameras.
