What happens to the system if there is no internal battery in the motherboard?

CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) usually describes a small amount of memory on a computer motherboard that stores the BIOS settings. Powered by a small battery, the CMOS also stores time and date details, etc. If the time and date on the computer is wrong whenever the computer is booted up, then a failing CMOS battery is a likely cause - and needs to be replaced.
If there wasn't a CMOS battery, or it is a dud, mains power could possibly (as happened on an old laptop of mine, so time ago!) be used to run the computer, but time and date will need to be updated manually on each reboot.
