That beast is probably a Motorola 146818 CMOS clock/RAM chip, unless you have
a Chips & Technologies 82C206. The only other possibility would be a Dallas
module, which you DONT have because you have a battery.

You might want to poke-around with a voltmeter to see if the power-down
circuitry is working. Also, if your PC is UL approved, there are 2 series
diodes which might have poofed. Or your battery voltage is low. I've seen
6.8v and 4.5v batteries.
