Allso overclocking has be bearing on the battery's life or health in any way, because the cmos chip will allways run at its stock specification, for there to be any chanse of damage to the battery there would need to be a catastrophic failioure of the power citquitry as a whole which would destroy nigh on every other component on the motherboard, leaving the damaged batery to be a non issue.

Its a loop. Battery is part of that loop. You are shorting that loop that the battery is a part of to keep current flowing if PSU power is not available.
I'm not going to argue with you over it though. Its not that big an issue.
