How old is the battery?  You can use ntp to keep the clock syncronized 
with a time server on the internet but if the battery is going, ntp is 
only a band-aid.  If you have a dead battery and power down 
(intentionally or otherwise) you may have an unbootable system when you 
try to power up again.
