HP 601 Battery Error

I just needed clarification of, which battery the 601 error refers to.

The error states: "The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.
Primary (internal) Battery (601)"

I am assuming that this is the main battery in the back, but wanted to be sure it is not the little battery that maintains all the BIOS info. I think the word 'internal' is throwing me off a bit.

This is in regards to an HP Pavilion DV5-1004NR notebook.

Thank you for any help.

You just need a new regular battery.

Omg i contacted tech support my laptop is doing the same thing, i took a picture of the battery alert message told them everything that had been going on with it, and they informed me it was not the battery but i need a new optical drive im so angry because i know that isnt what it is, and then they want my credit card information even though my computer is under warranty.
