My "Date & Time" settings keeps defaulting April 1, 19xx and I suspect it has something to do with the built-in battery. I have a Quicksilver 2002 & I was hoping someone could point me to the proper battery replacement...

I've had 2 customers with a old iMac and a fairly new iMac have the same problem. On both I noticed they didn't have the Set date & time automatically in the Date & Time system preference. I checked that box and the lock so it couldn't get changed by mistake either by user or something else.

Your battery is probably gone. You need a lithium computer battery 3.6 V 850 mAh. A local electronics supply house should have them. Or you can order online. Just Google it!

when you restart does it warn you that the date is incorrect?
if it does all the time, that's probably the battery.

Zap the pram just to be safe. If it still messes up after, it's the battery.
