Does a ibook G4 have a clock battery?

I am using the 1.2ghz ibook G4 I bought last May. Does it have a clock battery? Last night I accidently left my ibook's battery out of the unit. Then I came to it today, only to find the date and time reset.

Ths has led me to believe that the ibook lacks a clock battery, or that mine may be dead. Its odd dying so fast. In this case its a good thing I bought the extended warranty.

Hi John,

None of the iBooks or PowerBook G4 12" have back up batteries if that is what you are asking. Did you have your computer plugged into the power adapter? You may want to look at Portable Computers: Models Which Do Not Have a Backup Battery.
