Hey Jon!
Thank you so much for your effort, I took the chance to go out and buy a new CR2032 since this is the most common type of battery used in most motherboards and I just finished replacing the battery, was a quite a busy job, with lots of tiny screws to remove before gaining access to the battery. After the replacement, I slapped on an old air cooler and an old video card, updated the system time and powered down the system for about 10mins with the power cord completely removed.
I just booted it up and thankfully the date and time seemed to be showing up correctly! I’ve turned off the system and will let it sit for a couple of hours and test it again
My system has been up for about 2 weeks now and has been performing really well. I only discovered this issue when I decided to replace my aging D5 pumps, I turned off the system for a couple of days for the work and when I booted the system, the date and time were gone
