When my PC/AT battery went out a few weeks ago for the first time,
the people at Businessland who usually do our repair work here said that
they were seeing a lot of batteries needing replacement around then.
Apparantly they last about a year.

BTW, my symptom was just like the original poster's:  The clock stopped
when the power was off.
