I have an 80-Data 286 motherboard-- a Turbo-12 relabled Turbo-10.

Can anyone tell me what the jumper marked "charge" is for?

The motherboard works perfect, except it will not keep it's setup.  Every-
time it is turned on it says "CMOS Ram Checksum Error" (or something like that)
and asks if I want to run the setup program (I am using an AMI BIOS). 

The battery is good, and connected correctly.  It works fine as long as I dont
turn the machine off.  If I just hit RESET it will boot correctly.

I have also used the "Landmark Setup" program (lm-setup.com) with the same 
results.  

I was wondering if the "charge" jumper had any effect on the battery and thus
the CMOS RAM.   Any ideas?
