I can't say that I have noticed that there is one there. However I guess it will do the same job as the Lithium battery on a PC's Motherboard. It will keep the Wii's internal clock and settings powered if there is ever a powercut.

Not to sure but I guess if it does start to run flat you will not notice too many problems unless there is a powercut, and no your VC games won't be lost.

Also I have never know a Lithium battery on my PC's motherboards go flat and some of them are over 8 years old!

ya i was worried about this too at first but its just for settings clock etc anyway, like the memory doesnt need power all the time. you know if you pull a hdd out of a comp and put it back in data is still there, and my friend has a 16 year old computer that still works so dont worry about it running flat in the wiis lifetime mate and when it does you will lose your time and date... oh no lol but yer nuthing to worry bout k

It's basically a CMOS battery it saves Wii operating system settings/boot settings and time. Just as with a PC it has nothing to do with your precious data saved.
