Does the 2017 27-inch iMac 5K have a lithium CMOS battery?

As noted here iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display 2017 Teardown picture 10, does the 2017 27" 5K iMac have a lithium CMOS battery?

I am guessing yes, but I wait for the experts.

Thanks!

All of the iMac's have a CMOS battery to maintain the clock and settings. Here is the backside of the logic board where you'll see the Panasonic battery - 27" iMac

Dan, that is not the logic board for a 2017 27" 5K iMac.

That is correct it is not the very newest model! But, it's the exact same location and config as I referenced below you can see it in the OWC vid.

That's the 21.5" teardown, we don't have the new 27" model but if you watch the OWC vid here you'll get a glimpse of it - teardown of the 2017 27-inch Apple iMac. I've pasted an image of the previous model which is exactly the same above.
