Having to reboot the computer 10 times to get it to come up is not
the MB battery.
That sounds more like Motherboard or Harddrive.
How old is this computer that the MB battery is dying?

Guy at Batteries Plus said I should just take out the CMOS battery; that the
chances are 99% that on Desk Top it is just a simple battery that I can pick
up anywhere, CVS, Giant, their store, etc. All I have is a Dell part

and see if I can find it at one of these places - or just leave computer
running until my Dell replacement battery comes? Or might the problem be
something else beyond just the CMOS battery? Don't have another computer,
so have to use this one for now for work, etc.
