My TOD battery of IBM 285 is dead
Fast question: i have to buy an original battery(there is only one on ebay!)
Or i can use a normal lithium battery for pc bios?
Thanks

Looking at the instructions on the web for changing the battery on a 285 it looks like any other BIOS cell battery eg, 2032.

Is your battery just a flat cell type or does it have wires attached?

Is this the type?
