I haven't yet got to the point of measuring current drain, but the battery
seems to be holding at 3v.

However when this problem first cropped up, the original battery was weak.
So maybe there is a drain somewhere.

I have a related question: how would you troubleshoot a motherboard which
resets CMOS to default every time a/c power is shut off, even with a
fresh
battery?

Bad CMOS ram or bad battery connection. How much current does it draw from
the battery while off?
