How long shoud the battery last in a computer proscessor.?
You shouldn't have to change the CMOS battery for a very long time. Some last many years. Make sure that you have the time and date set right in your bios and also have your time in the task bar settings update automatically with a times server.

Should last for a couple of years. I'd've thought. The one I had to change wasn't a rechargeable.
the bios battery, the one on the motherboard, should last a few years. can last upto 10 years, and will last longer if you dont switch off your computer from the mains.
you either put the battery in the wrong way, got a dodgy one, or there is a problem with your bios chip on the motherboard.
did you get the same exact battery number??
They're not normally rechargeable but if you bought a rechargeable battery then that's why it's running down. The correct battery should be a Lithium one and should last about 5 or 6 years. It's only purpose is to retain BIOS memory settings so it doesn't get much use.
If you mean the 'button cell' battery, on the mother board. It's only used to power the clock when PC is off.
Should not be re-charged either.
But should last a few years, the one in my daughters PC has not been replaced yet and the PC is 3 years old.
