There were no battery warnings, no loss of the time or any similar expected signs, but unexpected effects happened, e.g. the graphics seemed to be borked. When replacing the battery, the whole CMOS thingy gets reset. By replacing the battery you might kill two birds with one stone. For the reset it's not required to replace the battery ;). However, when I replaced the battery I often got rid of strange issues. The issues were solved by the new batteries and/or by resetting the CMOS thingy. I don't know what actually solved the issues.
