CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is that type of technology that is used by nowadays computers to keep our current time and date and system setup parameter's. We often see a cell mounted on the motherboard inside the system case, that part is called CMOS and the that small battery cell is been giving the power to CMOS to keep the BIOS setting (all sort of time, date and system setup settings etc.) been working if we plug out the power cable.
