It is on the motherboard on the bottom side of where the CD drive is located, on the right to the edge closest to the user. You have to strip down the computer. It is a small wafer about the size of the tip of your little finger. There are two prongs from the battery to the motherborad. It is covered by a translucent piece of yellow plastic stick on. It is soilderd to the board.
I removed the battery, ran two wire into the modem bay, and reattached it there for ease of maintenance. I can access it easily from there as needed.
If your question is prompted by a need to reset the bios password, battery removal is not the solution.

Is BIOS volatile or non volatile?
BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.
