Mine is a PB 280C duo, so I'm not sure if the issues are the same, but it does sound like the PRAM battery to me (performs the same basic function as a CMOS battery on a PC). On the Duo 280, it's two watch-type batteries (I believe they're actually welded together), surrounded in a sheath of plastic, with a couple of wires coming out, if I recall correctly (been a while since I had the Duo open, and I am admittedly far from an expert). On the Duo, seems like it was under the keyboard and close to the hard drive.

I have a PB180c which appears in fine shape except that the day & time change constantly before my eyes. Setting Date & Time in Control Panels seems to have no effect. Would this be a clock/cmos battery problem?
I have another 180c for parts that I have completely disassembled looking for something resembling a small battery with no luck. Can anyone tell me where to find it? My floppy seems to be shot as well, and I want to reinstall, but would rather not go in more than once so I'd really like to find this solution soon. Thanks for any input.
