Question CMOS battery replacement question

[Jon_Grose]

Hi everyone,

I have a laptop (HP 460 G7) which needs a new CMOS battery, however I've never changed a CMOS battery on a laptop before and have a few questions;

1) Are there different connector types depending on the Make/Model of the device? Or are they all exactly the same connector?
2) Providing it's the same battery code (CR2032), then in theory I could buy any laptop CMOS battery (CR2032 type) and this should work fine?

Thanks
