Default GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P - clock loses time

I RMA'ed a GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4 last week.
It worked for 2 days then stopped loading Windows and wouldn't boot from
CD. I returned it after following all steps recommended by Gigabyte tech
support without results.


I replaced it with a GA-MA790X-UD4P, Windows
loaded and it worked perfectly. BUT, the clock loses
a couple a minutes or so daily, with the PC running or
turned off. Is this cause for concern?

Here are the components:

SPARKLE SFPX95GT1024U2H GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0

That might tend to suggest the mobo battery is failing
