[SOLVED] CMOS battery drained in a month

[Jacob 51]

I bought this Zebronics H61 motherboard a month ago and the battery drained in a month. This is a big problem since these cheap boards cannot even start without a CMOS battery installed

The PC stopped booting. Nothing was happening when I pressed the power button. I tried to jump it, no fans spinning, no PSU power. Then I replaced the CMOS battery with my older one (I saw a youtube video in which a guy told me that these boards cannot start without a CMOS battery. The PC posted successfully but the SSD got corrupted (Had a hard time to fix it.)

The drained CMOS battery still had 3 volts in it. I assume the current was gone.

the grounding and all wiring is fine. The screws are in place. (I built this one myself).

Do I have to worry about this? I can't keep reinstalling windows over and over because of corrupted data.

If your battery is new and genuine, there must be a leaking somewhere on the motherboard.

CMOS battery should last several years, they even last nearly 10 years on some of my computers.

Idk If it was new and genuine. It came with the motherboard

You should use your own battery, God knows how long the motherboard has been in a warehouse and what sort of battery it had.
