The battery is unmistakable. If you have looked, you should have found it. Looks like an oversized watch battery.
It will be located near the BIOS chip, as well as the CMOS jumper.
It's on the motherboard. In my experience, usually in a corner, near where the main power supply plugs in to the motherboard.
