Looks like the lithium battery on your B1230-IV card is doa. This one is not rechargeable. It needs to be replaced with a new one (socketed, preferably) in order for you to be able to keep the time again.

Robert, socketed meaning you can take the silver battery easily out from it (pop it out). I believe that yours is soldered to the board, that is unless someone has previously modified your B1230-IV with a socketed battery.

Let me make it a bit clearer for you. If your battery's surface looks like it's covered slightly with a brownish wrap around it, such as the one seen in this picture, then it's soldered (non-removable).

Don't forget to power off, wait a minute, and power back on your system to make sure the time is being kept after shutdown. This is how you will really know if it works or not.
