   @teknomunk I would approach it from the power angle on existing hardware
   
   e.g. what about just wiring in a parallel battery, so one can be replaced without losing power
   
   or maybe use a supercap that you can charge before removing the old battery, then discharge once you replace it
   
   maybe use a set of header pins for either approach instead of permanently wiring anything in

     @FabolousIrving The motherboard manufacturer would have to include an EEPROM chip (a 4k I2C EEPROM is $0.126 on mouser) and the BIOS software would have to be modified to save/load the seetings from there, both of which have non-recurring engineering costs.
     
     I have no idea where to begin trying to mod hardware to hack this in after the fact.

     @teknomunk can you implement that on your own? I don't know much about that.

     ....store BIOS settings in an EEPROM so they don't get erased during routine maintenance?
