Q: Date problem with g5 power Mac

My G5 Mac will not keep date, every day I turn it off and on the next day I get a message telling me to set the date or it is likely to act erratic, even when I lock the date it still happens, any suggestions!

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4)

The internal battery probably needs to be replaced - it is used to maintain the state of a small amount of memory which contains certain system settings such as the system clock.
