Clock no longer stays current

I have my music studio m2 mini connected to a rack-mounted power line conditioner, which I turn off when Ieave. Often it is left off for days or even a few weeks. Recently, I have had to leave the power conditioner on to preserve the clock setting. Is there a replaceable battery in there? Is this indication of a more expensive problem?
