Troubleshooting the System Battery NOTE: If the system is turned off for long periods of time (for weeks or months), the
NVRAM may lose its system configuration information. This situation is caused by a
defective battery.

the System Setup Program and UEFI Boot Manager" on page61.

If the problem is not resolved by replacing the battery, see "Getting Help"
on page 185.
NOTE: Some software may cause the system time to speed up or slow down. If the
system seems to operate normally except for the time kept in the System Setup
program, the problem may be caused by software rather than by a defective
battery.
