Anyway, if you rely on BitLocker in TPM mode (boot without PIN), you should know that anyone can steal your computer, sniff 32 bytes off of the LPC bus, stick them into libbde, and decrypt your disk. Yes, it's that easy. Solder 7 wires to $favorite_fpga_board, decrypt drive.
There is no mention of battery backup anywhere in the datasheet for SLB9635TT1.2 (typical Infineon TPM). The only mention of batteries in the TPM 1.2 specification is about timestamping/clock, and it's optional.

You need a battery to do *anything* when powered off. Without a battery chassis intrusion detection is useless as a defense against hardware modification attacks like the one I described.
