Now the memory that is used to hold your BIOS settings is volatile (think of RAM, that's volatile memory, once it loses power anything in it is lost), because of this it has to have a constant small supply of power in order to make it non-volatile when the mains power is switched off. Once this power supply (the battery) is removed or dies in some way, all your settings are lost so when you next start your PC it will use the factory default BIOS settings.
