Computer CMOS battery

[Data888]

Hi.
I have a computer with a flat CMOS battery. The battery is a square,
4.5v alkaline. I don't have a replacement on hand, so can I use 3, 1.5v
AA batteries connected in series until I can find the correct replacement?
Thanks

Nick

Nope, you are thinking of the 3v lithium button batteries. The OP is after

the older style square batter with the fly-lead attached.
