So there you have it. According to Sega, the battery that maintains the internal clock time on the dreamcast is some rechargeble affair. Now I understand why it loses it's internal clock. I don't exactly play the thing all that often.
...I do think I need to get that Sea Man game sometime though... Maybe Chu Chu Rocket, the rocket chews on you...
Quote:Batteries
Dreamcast uses an internal rechargeable battery to store its settings. Dreamcast should be turned on for at least two hours to initially charge the battery. The rechargeable battery should then last for 20 days when Dreamcast isn't being used.
The rechargeable battery in Dreamcast isn't a user-serviceable part. To have the battery replaced, follow the directions for Repairs before sending or bringing Dreamcast to an authorized Sega repair center.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
