Cmos battery for laptop

[Ma Lea]

So i bought a ML1220 cmos battery at ebay for $2.99 and its not rechargeable. So my question is

Is it okay to changed the CMOS battery from rechargeable to non- rechargeable?

Can i leave my laptop open (24-7) with non rechargeable cmos?

Please advice me

Thanks

If your laptop tries to charge a non-rechargeable CMOS, there is a very good chance that the cell will fail catastrophically. At best this will leak corrosive acid around in inside of your laptop and cause major damage. At worst, the cell will explode and catch fire.
Buy the correct replacement battery.

Hello

Thanks. The seller says its non rechargeable but when i desoldering again its printed (rechargeable) maxell. So i think im going to buy a new one again to make sure.

Hi, if you bought a real ML1220 battery, it is rechargeable. But if you bought an eBay replacement and it is not rechargeable, you need to install a genuine ML1220 battery.
