Is the bios-battery (usually CR2023) rechargeable? I don't think so... But  
in older computers there can be other accus, not only the cheap CR2023  
which is used nowerdays...

However, a non working accu can be responsible for the strange behaviour  
of a notebook.
I don't know if there is a cmos-hw-reset-switch on the mainboard of your  
notebook. If there is one, it is worth trying.
