	I have a PS/2 Model 50 under my care which seems to lose track of
time.  If it is turned off for a period of time (a couple of hours?) it stops
incrementing the time and when restarted it thinks the time & date are from
whenever it stopped counting.  If turned off for a few minutes, it comes back
on with the correct to the second time.  My supposition is that this is a
battery problem, but I thought that a weak battery would also cause problems
with the setup and I would have to rerun the Reference Diskette.  Is this
incorrect?  Any ideas?  Any sources for replacement batteries?

				Thanks,
