The CMOSCMOS battery does not store data, it's a BATTERYBATTERY. The battery provides power for the CMOS SRAMCMOS SRAM chips that actually hold the memory.
Incedentally

Incidentally, there is no such thing as a CMOSCMOS battery. The battery that powers the CMOSCMOS is just a regular battery that happens to power CMOSCMOS chips.
