I stumbled upon an old Thinkpad with an empty CMOS battery. Sadly it was shrinkwrapped, so I took the one naked CR2025 I still had and wrapped it in paper-ish packaging tape to prevent shortcircuits.

It’s working.

    The original one was soldered to a small „paddle“ which was „tacked“ to the battery. I just taped it together and since the tape is kinda stiff it‘ll probably stay where it should be.
