Hi, it looks as an AI generated response, since before posting I got a similar one, as I said earler, the Service Manual makes no mention of the CMOS battery replacement procedure. 

So from what you posted the CMOS battery is underneath the main battery?

Hey Perseid,

I did not find any diagram to remove the cmos battery. If you follow the manual to remove the palm-rest and keyboard assembly, after removing the battery and solid-state drive thermal bracket. Specifically, you'll need to disconnect the battery cable, remove screws securing the battery and thermal bracket, and then lift the battery off the palm-rest assembly to access. You would then see the cmos battery.

Seems to be easily accesible, in the XPS 9570 you have to unmount the battery, drives, fans, wifi card, heat sink and motherboard!

Nonsense, this model does not have a separate CMOS battery

Hi Prymax, yes I agree, it seems that these so called Dell Reps just copy/paste AI responses. Before posting I got the same info from Google AI. The fact that the Service Manual does note even mention the CMOS Battery supports your statement. Shame on you "Tech Support"

Perseid,

My Apologies on the cmos battery.  After looking through the database there is no mention of a cmos battery.
