Re: About to receive G5X mk1, have G16

liking the G5x. Nice to have a VF that shows all the shooting parameters.
one thing irritating me is the need to reset time after taking the battery out to charge it.
Googling indicates this means the internal date/time battery is depleted.
I guess you get what you pay for - bought this used by mail. Maybe the seller didn't even realise it was an issue. And these newer cameras don't have replaceable batteries - I see some older models did.
anyone else have this experience and find a work around? I

'm wondering if a new Lion battery for the camera or plugging it into the accessory charger (don't have one but presume I can get one) might help recharge the depleted internal battery.
