Where is the CMOS battery for aspire 5515

[helpdesktech]

Where is the CMOS battery located on an Aspire 5515 laptop? I am having to replace the battery and can not locate it!

And the location doesnt seem to be listed in the Aspire 5515 Service Guide either.
At least they do include a picture of the battery and it's cable.

If you need to disassemble the laptop to get to the CMOS battery, here is a general guide on how to proceed:

I disassembled the laptop and nothing looks like that picture...I did find the CMOS battery but it is souldered to the board. So the board had to be replaced.
