11 Having a dead battery, system clock resets to it's initial value only
12 when I:
13 1. Turn off the power
14 2. Plug off power cord for a while, i.e. when I take the computer to
15 a different location. 5 minutes is enough.
16
17 Simple restart is not enough. System clock is running like the
18 circuit that lets to turn on machine "softly" - with power button on
19 the keyboard.

21 If you use oldworld machine and need to boot the old Mac OS system
22 before running BootX, you can expect the machine to "forget" where is
23 the startup volume too.
24
25 With these information you should quickly find if battery needs to be
26 replaced.
