I understand that. Perhaps you've misinterpreted what I meant.It's not the CMOS battery that's in question here...

I clearly misunderstood this then:
- when you referred to the CMOS battery but didn't actually mean the CMOS battery - of course! I see now.Below is a video with your type battery

not exactlywhen you referred to the CMOS battery but didn't actually mean the CMOS battery - of course! I see now.
I simply meant that if it were me, that's all. It's in the first line.
Would that mean that removing the main battery would also be like removing the CMOS battery? That doesn't sound good. Oh well, it's already done.
A weird thing that I noticed (unrelated to the battery) is that when I had the laptop's bottom cover open, I couldn't find where the SSD drive was. I could see where it should be, but there was just a space there. Then I went back to the video tutorial again that showed how to open up the computer to change the battery, and it shows the same thing I saw; no SSD: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL05 How to Battery Replacement Disassembly - YouTube
It should be in the square silver area in the upper right.
What I see in that video is that the silver area is for a SATA SSD drive but it may actually have an NVMe SSD drive that I don't see, probably covered by something else. Both types the drives are SSD/Solid State Drive but the NVMe and SATA are different mountings. The NVMe will be shorter than in this image, maybe just about 1.5", one of mine at 256GB is.
I gave one of my granddaughters a Notebook from 2010 that uses a SATA drive. I have only 1 IDE/PATA drive on the shelf from a Notebook I gave my son back in late-'90s, 30GB.
