Mostly on the M/B, a cylinder about 1/2" in diameter and 3/4" long, next to the keyboard connector. Soldered onto the board. Can be replaced by an external battery with a 4 pin molex connector which fits on 4 pins near the battery with a jumper (2 position header) on pins 2&3. Or it can be replaced by soldering a new one on.
Some boards came with a coin type battery, looks like a shiny nickel being held down by a crossbar clamp.
And some came with an off board battery that connected to 4 pins as described above.
