Framework 11 RTC to 2 pin cmos battery

There any mod to convert your RTC cmos battery to a 2 pin cmos battery? I broke my cmos clip a long time ago. I still use my laptop sporadically could probably use it more if it weren’t for the nuisance of th me broken clip. I don’t always travel with my tool to reset the battery. Hence the need for a 2 pin connector. I don’t mind soldering too.

Sure. Just need wire connector leads, a battery holder, and some small heat-shrink tubing. I’d suggest a “JST 1.25” / 1.25mm pitch connector. You can get them on ebay, aliexpress, amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Molex-Female-Connector-Batteries/dp/B00253SNRC

But you should have experience with surface mount soldering before trying on an expensive motherboard. Quality solder, quality flux and a temperature controlled soldering iron makes it easier.
