Bios battery and anti static packaging

[The Good Dr]

Hello this may sound like a really dumb question but I have a quantity of single board computers which I am selling, I have purchased some anti static bags to package these in. Do I remove the bios battery before packaging or is it safe to leave it on the board?

Thank you for reading

IMHO it's ininfluent to leave the battery on place.

Two things to notice:

1) Every time I bought a motherboard, BIOS battery was installed and everything was wrapped in antistatic bag
2) Antistatic bags offer high resistance, Dave actually talks about that in a video; unfortunately I don't recall the exact video number.

Good luck with your sales!

Thank you both for the replies

Be careful, as some countries have issues with sending batteries past customs.  I can't buy batteries from Mouser, for example.
