Battery voltage is low

I am getting this error message on my dimension 620 when it is booting to system.

 

"Alert system battery voltage is low Press F1 to continue F2 to setup utility"

 

I ran the diagnose software, nothing found.

 

Thanks in advance.

    There is no Dimension 620 that I can find.  I do find a Precision 620 and if it is a Precision you post belongs in the Workstation/Optiplex section of the forum (the forum section for support with Precision systems).
     
    However, the BIOS battery, which I assume is what it is referring to, is 3-V CR2032 coin cell.

    This is the Optiplex forum, isn't it?

    So what is the resolution?

    We have same problem sometimes on both GX520 SFF and GX620 USFF

    systems. Batteries are definitely not low in Voltage. The BIOS information is correct including date/time.

    Dell diagnostics utility does not show any problem but the message keeps on returning sometimes.

    Should ask DELL to change the main board?

     

    rgds,

    FYI:

    Have changed the battery in the Optiplex GX620 system with a new Fujitsu CR2032

    we had on the shelf and the message disappeared.

    Fujitsu battery voltage at start of using: 3.200V

    Replaced Panasonic battery voltage after taking out from PC: 3.099V .

    Would expect this battery can still be used.

    Guess it is really a main board problem cq a voltage comparator design mistake?
