On the motherboard that you have, there is a coin cell battery near the
keyboard connector.  However, this has been spot-welded into place.  But
behind the battery there is a four pin connector labeled BATT for
connection of an external battery.  You can connect a battery pack here. 
You can get these packs at most any computer oriented store.
