Jeremy, I don't think it makes any difference if the B27 is connected to
the brick or not.  One B27 had been disconnected and boxed for some, and
I hooked it up and it still had the correct time and date.  The ones that
come up with random time and dates do so even though they remained
connected to a brick (the little red LEDs stay on).
