Is frequent CMOS battery shorting dangerous?

[JuganD]

Hello,

 

so I've been thinking a lot recently, does frequent shorting of CMOS battery actually causes any damage in the long run? By damage I mean any kind of aftereffect like degradation, power loss and overall shorting lifespan. I've been searching a lot for any kind of specific information about that, since I've been overclocking a lot recently and a few times I had to short jBAT1 pins to reset the configuration, but everywhere I looked there were more information about the process of shorting and not enough about the effects

afaik, it does not. 

the battery should be fine afaik.

i expect ur disconnecting it not shorting it..

 

 

shorting it would be connecting back and front of it (positive and negative)

It technically writes to the BIOS chip to reset the settings every time you do it, but if you're constantly at default values, there's nothing really changing, so you're not really wearing anything out

If you are talking about the jumper pins, no.  If you are talking about removing and putting it back, no.  If you are connecting the positive to the negative side of the battery with a wire, yes damage can/will occur

It’s nothing to worry about. You just rewriting the BIOS chip. If your talking about 10-20-30 times, no issues. If you have a fascination of BIOS reseating and are talking triple to quadruple digits, yea maybe that would start to Cassie BIOS writes. But even then, it’s likely find. 
 

TLDR, should be fine

So its not actually interacting in any way with the battery's power, but instead signaling that it should reset the settings I should've actually thought of that since after the short it asks me if I want to load previously saved profile, which I thought was pretty cool but wondered how does it work if its supposed to .. like "erase" it

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I'm more confident dealing with boot failures after what I've read. Black screen heart rate lowered by 20 bpm
