When I was a kid my dad had a computer. A 486. It didnt have a CMOS battery. He went to the computer fair to talk to the guy he bought it from and he got another copy of the manual.

Manual said to use some weird 3.7V lipo pack across header J1 or something like that.

He did that.

And it turned out that was the wrong manual.

The battery exploded. Like, loud as hell. 3.5" drive bay covers shot clear across the room and put a mark in the closet door that's still there to this day.
