There are other ways of re-setting the motherboard to its factory
default settings and this is by getting into bios setup and then
saving to the default settings. However, the better alternative is
to configure the bios settings to suit the actual construct of the
computer on the first bootup. Open the motherboard manual, go to the
bios section and then proceed accordingly.

No. When you buy a new motherboard, it will come with default settings
from the factory. Normally you would enter Setup and adjust the settings
as desired. You wouldn't bother with the battery at all.

And that's an assumption that could bite you in the ass.

Before installing a new mainboard, take 10 seconds and move the jumper.

Not good advice if anything should go wrong after opening the case and
then a warranty issue surfaces. Better to be conservative, as suggested
by Malke and Ghostrider. Optimize the bios setup for the computer and
one's use of it.

Excellent advice!
 
I only "reset" the BIOS following the flashing of the BIOS, say when I
received old stock with an out of date version.
