   Saturn/DC Battery woes...

   Ok,   
      
   So we all know that the Saturn and DC both have a small battery inside   
   them that helps the system remember the date and time. In the past I've   
   never really had any issues replacing them...or any issues in general   
   with what they do...but now...   
      
   So I go out and buy a new CR2032 for the Saturn, I pop it in, set the   
   date and time and assume everything is good. Next time I turn on the   
   Saturn, it asks for the date/time *again*. What the hell? Isn't the   
   battery supposed to take care of that? Also, with the Saturn, does the   
   battery actually help keep the items in the system's buit-in storage   
   alive, or are they always there?   
      
   I have this same issue with the DC(asking about date/time), and the   
   replacement batteries don't seem to help. What kills me is that these   
   two systems are plugged in 24/7...granted, they're not turned on 24/7,   
   but isn't being plugged in enough?
