Tried it with the new power adapter, same issue so it isn’t the power supply. Intel’s web site says it should post regardless of if the cmos battery is dead or not so guessing something wrong on the board although it would be cheap enough to try a new battery. Or even just remove the old one and check it with the multimeter.

I've got a NUC that thinks there's no CMOS battery installed, regardless of I have the battery installed or not. It will boot just fine (ignoring the fact it resets the BIOS to defaults if you remove the external power).

I would suggest the battery in your case is not the issue.

Thanks, that pretty much confirms it should boot CMOS or not. Issue is on the board then. Have to decide if I want to pay to have it fixed or buy a drive enclosure and use the SSD as a portable drive.
