That's reminded me that I found a similar problem when I fitted the
battery to my beagleboard. I configured the battery charge rate to a
higher value and despite warnings from others on this group it has been
fine since. I'm in France at the moment so have no access to my BB to find
what setting I used. Before I fitted the battery I configured !Alarm to
run at start up with the date on the icon bar which I check is giving the
correct year before running anything else.
