Are you sure you aren't mistaken about this? I've been building my own PCs for 21 years & have never heard of that feature. Kinda defeats the purpose of a BIOS battery. I own a dual-BIOS system that will use the backup BIOS if the 1st one was failing to POST, sure you aren't thinking of that?
You might be right with the battery, it should last longer.
My dual bios is to protect from corruption and also to have 2 profiles.
The manual states it will default back to bios after 3 failed attempts.
This makes sense as it allows you to select the backup bios.
I ground my teeth building, maintaining and running Unisys servers in the bad old NT days. (NT is not "new testament" for the non geeks, he he)
