No, the Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series) does not include a RTC/CMOS battery on the mainboard as the main laptop battery provides the necessary power to perform the functions of a RTC/CMOS battery. For those interested in operating the Framework AMD Ryzen 7040 Series in "standalone" mode outside of a Framework Laptop chassis, a wired RTC/CMOS Battery would be required, which is available in the Framework Marketplace [HERE](https://frame.work/products/16-rtc-battery-cable).
