I think what you will find is a weak cell in the battery pack. You can try cycling your battery but I found that pack replacement is the only real fix. I found from the NIST (National Institutes of Standards) a bunch of programs and C code fragments that can align your clock from the Government's time standards. They have dial-up as well as TCP internet clients that figure out the network loop delay (pings) and sends you time corrected info. The Windows program that I downloaded will even set your clock for you. It's supposed to be accurate to within a half a second, at the outside. Enjoy...
