What is PRAM Battery Checker?
PRAM Battery Checker is a program which will inform you if your computerÕs PRAM battery has died.
What is a PRAM Battery?
The PRAM battery is a small battery inside your computer that allows your computer to remember certain
settings even when the power is turned off. They have a limited lifetime and usually last a couple of years,
but can die much sooner.
What can happen if my PRAM battery dies?
Your computer can forget what time it is, forget which disk to start up from, forget your monitorÕs
settings or not start up at all.
Why would I want to use this program?
If you are a system administrator for a large lab of computers you will like a tool to help you find the
source of many common problems quickly. Dead batteries can cause a variety of problems for users. You
may want to place it on your parentÕs computers since it has been my experience that many parents arenÕt
computer savvy and will work through the problems caused by dead PRAM batteries as opposed to replacing
them.
