the last week i have found my clock to be losing time and then booting today i had a dos error saying the cmos has lost settings and now in safe mode. the shuttle is only 9 months old.... is this normal for the battery to last this short time? my previous shuttle lasted 3 years then i had to replace it pretty much every 90 days for some reason. Should i be turning it off at the wall when i have shut down? am i doing something that could kill them? or was the last shuttle faulty and this is just bad pot luck and when i replace it all will be well!

anyone else had this issue?
 
ok cheers for the info. the only reason i worry is due to having this issue before with my last shuttle. swapped the battery over and all is working so far
