does the computer being plugged in, and PSU switched on keep the batteries charge longer? because i JUST turned it on in my 63F room and got a cmos battery error(the battery didnt keep the settings from last use which was last night) and it worked fine yesterday, but i switched the PSU off last night(because the PSU stays warm when its switched on) and now it cleared for an unknown reason, is the PSU supposed to stay switched on?

No,
The battery is not rechargable.

You answered your own question. The battery is dead. When there is power to the board, it will keep your CMOS settings.

I'll give you a battery if you want. I can send it with the other stuff in a few weeks.

thats alright, i usually just get a pack of two every once and a while at Walmart for $4 or something, but this battery has only been in for like 6months so i was very surprised it cleared
