As I am getting very close to completing this older computer for my daughter, I thought that I would go ahead and put in a new cmos battery. I don't know if the battery had ever been changed and I don't think that I had ever seen any indication of the battery going bad, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to start with a fresh battery. So...I picked up a couple of 3 volt batteries as I left work....they are DL2016....DL2025 (Duracell Lithium).

But...the cmos battery is CR2032. I went ahead and put in the #2025...and other than the 2025 being just slightly thinner...it seems to be working okay ( I'm using the computer now). So what is the difference...do I need to yank the #2025 out and get another CR2032? I certainly don't want to hurt anything here...I've put in a lot of time and upgraded a few parts to get this system running nice & fast & cool & quiet...
