How is the internal Memmory Saved. meaning Date/Time?

When the battery Dies the phone loses it's date and time settings, reverting back to 1970. Does the iphone have a seperate battery that would normaly provide power for retaining internal memmory such as settings, Date & Time...

If so is it possible to replace this battery?
