That only used to be an issue with very old motherboards. They usually use an accumulator instead of a battery these days. It charges up whenever the computer is on, and so never runs out of juice. ....Unless you leave it off for a few years.

usually means time to replace the battery, however could be corrupted bios, but with u loosing your date and time i would say replace the bat

i think once the bat is dead it will no longer keep(accumulate) a charge
