Clock goes back to old date mk3 original radio

After driving my car sometimes the clock on the dash will revert back to an older date. This happens when the ignition is turned off after driving.

After a few moments the clock will return back to the proper date.

Is this a sign the battery is on its way out or is it just some sort of cached time glitch

    The flux capacitor is broken. Should be covered under the warranty.

    On a serious note have seen others with issues like that but they say with trying it a few more times it eventually stays and is a glitch.

    Thanks, hasn't happened in a while so thought maybe the battery was going.

    No need for that, just a full recharge with a suitable electron booster. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced device ??? 🤔

    Anything that can produce 1.21 GW will be fine for example a bolt of lightning 😂

    If we connect together all of the Maypole chargers @StephenFord has recommended, they will easily be able to provide 1.21 GW, probably quite a bit more 🤣
