Lenovo RTC Battery Module CR2016 is a direct replacement real-time clock backup battery designed for compatible ThinkPad and Lenovo systems. The module uses a CR2016 coin cell format to maintain BIOS settings and system clock when the main power is disconnected, enabling reliable timekeeping and configuration retention after power loss. Intended for repair, maintenance, or system refurbishment, this RTC battery module restores the motherboard's ability to preserve system time and BIOS parameters.

Advantages

The RTC battery module provides a compact, low-profile power source for the real-time clock circuit, ensuring continuous preservation of BIOS settings and system time without depending on the main battery. Its CR2016 coin cell design offers long shelf life and stable voltage suitable for RTC applications. The module is compatible with a range of relevant Lenovo/ThinkPad motherboards, making it convenient for targeted repairs and maintenance of legacy and modern systems that use this battery format.

Suitable for

• Restoring timekeeping and BIOS configuration on Lenovo/ThinkPad laptops
• Repair and maintenance of systems with depleted or failing RTC battery
• Motherboard refurbishment and component replacement tasks
• Service centers and technicians performing diagnostic and repair work

Key specifications
